Woman Suffers Burn Injuries in Century City Apartment Fire

A woman was critically injured Friday morning in an apartment fire in Century City.

The first arriving crews saw smoke coming from a two-story, garden-style apartment building and found a mattress burning in a second-floor unit after the blaze was reported at 5:48 a.m., according to Lyndsey Lantz of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Firefighters put out the fire by 6:06 a.m. and the patient, a woman in her mid-30s, was taken by paramedics to a burn center, Lantz said.

Los Angeles Police Department and LAFD arson investigators were summoned to the location, she said.
