Delevingne’s extensive Studio City residence required a large-scale effort from the fire department. Firefighters quickly mobilized, deploying hoses to extinguish flames that had significantly engulfed the property.
WATCH:
The fire was reportedly very severe, extending into the attic, and a portion of the roof even caved in. Sources told TMZ that it took firefighters more than two hours to both contain and completely extinguish the blaze. Additionally, there were reports of injuries resulting from the incident.
“One firefighter was transported in fair condition, and one occupant sustained minor smoke inhalation.”
The outlet reported:
We’re told one firefighter fell off a ladder trying to put out the blaze and was hurt — although it’s unclear to what extent — and our sources say an occupant at the home was treated for smoke inhalation as well.
We know Cara was not on the scene … she’s in England right now, and was photographed out and about on Thursday. Cara’s been performing there at the Playhouse Theatre all week.
We can’t understate how big of a fire this was, as it required a huge response. In total … we’re told 94 total firefighters showed up to fight the blaze in 13 different engines that arrived on the scene. Our sources say 4 ambulances were also sent to the property.
The department reported that the fire was extinguished after two hours and 16 minutes according to KTLA. One firefighter was taken to the hospital in fair condition, but the specifics of how the injuries occurred are not clear. One person living in the house suffered minor injuries due to smoke inhalation.
The Los Angeles Fire Department is still investigating what caused the fire.
