Landscapers working outside a condominium complex in west Canyon Country accidentally started a fire that climbed up the corner of the building and burned two units.
Original story:
Fire fighters responded Friday afternoon to a report of a structure fire in Canyon Country.
Firefighters received a call at 1:27 p.m. and were on scene one minute later, according to Inspector Reade of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The call reported fire and smoke showing in multiple units at the condo complex near the intersection of Rue Crevier and Rainbow Glen Drive, just south of Soledad Canyon Road.
Fire officials said the blaze was confined to two upstairs condominium units.
As of 1:45 p.m., no injuries have been reported and no other structures are threatened.
Knockdown was declared at 1:49 p.m.
A witness told authorities the fire started outside of the complex and then climbed to the upstairs apartments.

Jessika Wagner Kathleen Wagner look familiar? Not our unit though
We had a similar fire when we lived there in 2007. There has been several that I have seen, very fishy. Especially because they couldn’t tell me how ours started.
Glad no one was hurt! Weird to see those units burnt- so similar to our old one.
used to live there 14 years ago…sad

Always scared me about living in a condo, esp since we lived there, just up a block, 8 months ago! Glad to hear there were no injuries reported.
Ilene Wallach Scandlyn…landscapers ;)

View from Rainbow glen says landscapers is baloney.
SCV is loaded with “landscapers”! I can’t be the only person who went for that theory first….
What happened? A lawn mower caught fire?
Does anyone know if rainbow glen is open ?
Miki. Rainbow Glen is still shut down.
:-/ okay thanks. Can’t go home!
Miki, depending on what street you live on, you can get there. I took Isabella & I was able to avoid the closure. I needed to get to the houses just past the condos.
My condo faces rainbow glen. I’ll have to figure a way and maybe park far and walk thur the complex
In case you don’t know it’s open fire was across street from your condo above pool
Yay! Thank you auntie Darlene !
Your so welcome!

The ‘landscapers did it’ theory doesn’t fly. Looks pretty clear to these eyes that the fire started in the upper level.
Go in the back side where I was the bushes are burnt and it looks like it climbed up the side of the building
Oh, got it. Thanks for the heads up!

Big ass law suit against them . If this is true .
There was just a fire there at the complex last year. The HOA raised the dues $30 due to an increase in fire insurance. Here comes another increase or possibly a cancellation of the policy. Say it isn’t so. What’s the word Ilene Wallach Scandlyn?

Thanks Vanessa Vanessa Arjoon
Thank goodness not your building, feel sorry for those folks
I know
I love all the people on here who think it’s some kind of conspiracy. Lots of things can catch fire like fertilizer.

Something fishy about this story….wonder what “really” happened. Glad no one was hurt.

I live down the street and we were helping today clear all the stuff out and when i went up in that condo it brought tears to my eyes..
These condos have been there for over 25 years. Seems like the reporters would be able to tell the difference between apartment where people rent from condos that people own.
