Elderly Saved From Structure Fire Possibly Caused By Fireworks

INCIDENT DATE/TIME: 1:20 AM 7-5-24
LOCATION: 179 E 49TH ST
AREA/CITY: SOUTH PARK LOS ANGELES
DETAILS:
A home went up in flames by possible fireworks, is what one neighbor was yelling when I arrived.
A man who refused to identify himself said off camera, very emotional, that he ran to the home and broke a window to get inside to rescue an elderly lady who was still inside the house. The elderly lady can be seen sitting next to her husband on the sidewalk. The man said he didn’t want to talk on camera because he only cared about their safety.
Another woman there was extremely upset because she said she was outside honking for people to help, but no one did besides that man.
LAFD is checking out the elderly couple, but it does not seem like they are being transported.
