Firefighters from Fire Station 82 arrived to find fire in Rincon Oaxaqueno on North Western Avenue just after 11 p.m..
Crews found heavy fire in the attic and employed a transitional attack, the fire department stated.
As firefighters ventilated the roof and heavy fire shot from the ventilation openings, crews entered the structure to begin an interior attack.
