An early morning blaze in Sylmar today killed an unspecified number of chickens and damaged horse stables and other property, authorities said.
The fire originated in the horse stables and wooden chicken coops of a single-family home in the 14600 block of Bledsoe Street about 1 a.m. and spread to a nearby property, damaging a mobile home, parts of a garage and three parked vehicles, said Capt. Daniel Curry of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
About 25 firefighters extinguished the blaze in 30 minutes, said department spokesman David Ortiz.
It was not immediately clear how many chickens died in the fire, said Battalion Chief Joe Foley, but TV news reports said 300 chickens, turkeys and ducks were killed.
No other injuries to people or animals were reported.
