Beverly Hills Mansion Fire Injures One

July 18, 2012 | Filed under: Blog

Fighting fires is no easy task. The work is dangerous and hazards exist around every hot corner. This is why communities allocate a budget used for the prevention of fire related injuries and disasters. The money creates fire stations with teams of courageous fire fighters who are willing to risk their lives to protect the community.
Beverly Hills, California viewed as a utopian by many for its near impeccable and endless glamour and its amount of ritzy mansions proved it has its vulnerabilities on Friday when a fire erupted in one of its mansions sending one person off to the hospital.

Fires do not discriminate. As long as the conditions are right, they will burn anything anywhere. You could be at someone’s mansion in the Los Angeles area when a fire erupts. It could in the process leave behind charred ashes and hazardous conditions for you or someone you know. Home fires, regardless of whether they happen at an apartment or a mansion, often occur out of neglect as was the case with this mansion fire.

A group of workers handling construction work allegedly started the fire, albeit by accident it turned out to be disastrous.
Beverly Hills Fire Department along with Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the fire at about 7:00p.m. In collaboration they were able to stop it from devouring the home.

Smoke was reported to be coming from the roof of the home and eventually picked up momentum as the clock ticked forward. Over 100 firefighters were deployed to take out the fire 30 minutes after the initial batch of fire fighters arrived.

Erick Scott, a member of the Los Angeles Fire Department said that his fire department needed to aid BHFD because of the size of the $19 million home. At about 12,000-aquare-feet, the mansion is about the size of a supermarket. Its location was difficult to reach based on terrain.

An unnamed fire fighter was fighting heroically to keep the fire from spreading inside the home when a large beam fell on his head. He was hospitalized and is currently being treated and tested.

The house was sold in September by a member of the Real House Wives of Beverly Hills.

Unfortunately reports form Patch.com claim that the home sustained significant damage.
