Three people die in an early morning fire that engulfs an Arcadia home


According to authorities, three people died in a house fire Tuesday morning in the city of Arcadia.

Firefighters responded to reports of smoke coming from a two-story home and attached garage in the 5300 block of Tyler Avenue shortly after 1 a.m., the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.

When they arrived, the house and garage were fully engulfed in flames, department spokesman Craig Little said. The fire was extinguished about 30 minutes later.

Two people in the home escaped with minor injuries, but three others died, Little said.

No additional information was immediately available about the occupants and their identities.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, authorities said.
