PHOTOS: Crews battled a massive fire in a 24,000 square foot mansion in the elite Los Angeles neighborhood of Beverly Crest Tuesday. L.A. City Fire started battling the blaze in the 300 block of Delfern Drive, north of Sunset Boulevard, at approximately 1:45 p.m. About 150 personnel were on scene, LAFD said. By 5:30 p.m., firefighters appeared to be getting the upper hand on the fire.

Sky5’s Gil Leyvas was over the fire at 5:30 p.m., where white smoke could be seen rising from the roof of the massive home, which was under construction. One chimney reportedly partially collapsed. Firefighters were ordered off the roof around 4:30 p.m. and operations had continued from the exterior of the structure due to safety concerns, according to LAFD.

Access to the home was slowed due to the home’s heavy construction, officials said. Firefighters worked to salvage items like artwork and other valuables from the water, smoke and flames. The fire didn’t appear to spread to any of the brush in the area or any neighboring homes. No injuries have been reported to any occupants or workers in the home, officials say. Everyone on the property is accounted for.

VIDEO: A new interactive tool developed right here in Cincinnati is helping teach kids how to stay safe during a fire—using something many already love: video games. It all started with a visit to the Cincinnati Fire Museum.

“We went to the Cincinnati Fire Museum,” said D’Arcy Smith, director of the University of Cincinnati’s Digital Performance Lab. “It’s got a really interesting mix of both historical things to look at in terms of firefighting in general.” But during that visit with his kids, Smith noticed something missing. “My kids… there wasn’t a ton of interactive things for them to do,” he said.

So Smith, a professor at the University of Cincinnati, decided to build something himself. He teamed up with student Tyler McCall to create Fire Escape, an interactive video game designed to teach kids what to do in a house fire. “We coded maybe how to jump, and you do the rest,” McCall said. “Everything else—the house itself, every item in it, the character models, all of it.”

The team even brought the game to life by voicing characters themselves, alongside students from Cincinnati State Technical and Community College.
