Fire breaks out at West Hollywood squatter home
A fire that broke out at a vacant West Hollywood home has residents dismayed as squatters are believed to be behind the blaze.
The home, located at 7909 Fountain Ave. was found engulfed in flames on June 28. Neighbors have complained about squatters constantly breaking into the property, with many believing the home is a safety hazard to nearby residents.
“I have seen those windows boarded up more times than I can count,” said Spencer Morgan, a neighbor. "Each and every time those boards are ripped off [by trespassers]. Just this morning, I have video proof of an unhoused person roaming the property.”
