Ten Sepulveda residents were left homeless Sunday after children playing with matches touched off an apartment blaze, Los Angeles Fire Department officials said.
No one was injured in the 3:15 p.m. fire in the 8800 block of Memory Park Avenue, said spokesman Jim Williamson.
The fire gutted a three-bedroom apartment on the building’s second floor, causing an estimated $40,000 in damage to the building and a $15,000 loss to contents. One apartment below the burned unit suffered water damage, the spokesman said.
Williamson said the American Red Cross was helping the five adults and five children find temporary shelter.
