Firefighters responding to an apartment fire found a person dead, the Arcadia Fire Department announced Monday.
Arcadia firefighters and crews from Monrovia Fire & Rescue and the Sierra Madre Fire Department responded at 9:18 p.m. Sunday to a fire at an apartment building on Genoa Street between Santa Anita and First avenues.
Upon arrival first-responders observed light smoke coming from one of the building’s units, according to Battalion Chief Charles Tuggle from the Arcadia Fire Department.
“Fire crews entered the apartment and encountered heavy smoke conditions,” Tuggle said in a statement. “The main portion of the fire was in a bathroom, where a deceased person was located.”
Firefighters found the man dead on the floor, AFD Capt. Drew Prior told the Pasadena Star-News.
Crews extinguished the fire within 15 minutes and confirmed that the blaze had not spread into adjacent units, Tuggle said.
The deceased person’s identity and cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner Department.
There were no immediate indications of foul play, Arcadia police Lt. Kollin Cieadlo told the Star-News.
The AFD and Arcadia Police Department are investigating the cause of the fire.
