Investigations are ongoing into a fire that broke out at a Children’s Authority safehouse in San Fernando on Sunday.

All six children and staff were safely evacuated from the facility.

According to initial reports, smoke was seen around 3:37 p.m. coming from a bedroom on the western side of the building’s second floor. An employee raised the alarm, and four co-workers quickly gathered the children and led them outside.
