One man was rescued Sunday from a second-floor window of an apartment building in San Pedro as firefighters battled the flames, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The fire at 1527 S. Palos Verdes St. was reported at 4:04 p.m., said LAFD spokesman Brian Humphrey.
The blaze was contained to one unit at the scene, Humphrey said.
The department dispatched 35 firefighters and extinguished the flames in under 20 minutes, Humphrey continued.
The victim, whose agitated behavior hampered firefighting efforts, was given medical treatment for minor injuries and taken into custody by Los Angeles police, Humphrey said. The reason for detainment was not immediately clear.
No other injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remained under investigation, he said.
