Firefighters rescued dogs stranded in one of the homes, but one resident’s dog died in the blaze. The flames spread to neighboring Craftsman homes, forcing some residents to climb through windows to escape. Flames tore though a large Craftsman home in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and the fire jumped to two other homes, killing one dog and displacing dozens of residents. Each home had at least two separate units, and a total of 41 residents were displaced, Stewart said. One person from a nearby home that was not touched by flames reported a medical issue, Stewart said.
