A landlord was killed Friday morning after running back inside a burning home in Eagle Rock.
Juan Cardenas, one of the three survivors, told Eyewitness News before dashing out of the burning home, despite noticing thick smoke quickly filling the area, he managed to grab the landlord of the home and escape the burning residence."I just think he felt, 'It's okay, this is it, and I'm just going to go along with it,'" said Cardenas.
"Residences on both sides of this building that were threatened by the fire, the large amount of fire that had been established became a challenge for the firefighters," said David Ortiz with LAFD. "They had two buildings on both sides of this building burning at the same time along with a tree."
