LOS ANGELES --
A third-alarm fire gutted a warehouse in the City Terrace area of the county Friday and left a firefighter with burns to his arms, shoulders and back, authorities said.
Firefighters were sent to the 3700 block of Medford Street about 5:25 a.m., said Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatcher Andrea Hawkins.
The firefighter suffered burns to about 20 percent of his body and was listed in stable condition at a hospital, said county fire Inspector Sam Padilla.
The flames, which burned through the roof of the structure, were extinguished in about 90 minutes, a dispatcher said. More than 50 firefighters worked to douse the flames and prevent them from spreading to other buildings.
Investigators sought to determine the cause of the fire.
A damage estimate was not immediately available.
