It took the first engine to arrive on scene within 3 minutes of the initial dispatch, all other units arrived on scene within 5 minutes of the initial call. Engine 3 which was the first engine on the scene had done a search for any victims and found 4 cats that were inside of the unit, the firefighters quickly extracted them from the unit and tend aid to them with pet oxygen masks, sadly 2 of the cats were unable to be resuscitated, the other 2 cats were transported to a nearby vet for further evaluation before being transferred to the Santa Monica Animal Shelter where their rightful owner(s) could pick them up. The unit was a total loss in the fire and the American Red Cross is helping the occupant(s) in the unit. There were no reported injuries to any firefighters or civilians related to the fire. The cause of the fire has been ruled accidental and most likely something was burning like a candle before the occupant(s) left and one of the cats may have accidentally knocked it down while the occupant(s) were gone.
