One man died and a woman was injured, when a fast-moving fire swept through their home Wednesday evening. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) was called at 8:13 PM on October 16, 2013 to 6904 Agnes Avenue in North Hollywood. Firefighters arrived quickly to discover heavy flames throughout the front portion of an 87 year-old, one-story home, with reports of people trapped inside.
