The fire broke out at a home in the 4500 block of N. Sunnyslope Avenue just before 6 p.m. It took 26 firefighters about 14 minutes to put out the fire, the L.A. Fire Department said.
Firefighters were seen working on the roof of the home's smoldering garage when it suddenly collapsed, and that firefighter rode the roof down into the interior of the garage.
Fellow crew members rush inside to help. Moments later, they were all seen coming out unharmed.
The fire was contained to the garage, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
