Los Angeles high-rise fire leaves 11 injured, prompts rare rooftop helicopter rescue.
The fire started on the sixth floor and damaged units on the fifth, seventh and eighth levels before 335 firefighters put it out, officials said. Arson investigators were at the scene."It's very early on with the investigation," Los Angeles police Capt. Randall Goddard said at a news conference Wednesday evening."We're still trying to determine was this fire intentionally set, or was it not intentionally set, was it an accident, and we don't have those answers yet.
"These firefighters were literally driven to their bellies halfway through that hallway before they even got to that fire unit," he said. "I heard two explosions and people screaming, and I ran out, and I went to the front of my building, and I looked up and saw huge flames, and there was a guy with his foot out the window," Menni said in an interview.
