KTLA-TV reports the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to a 911 call on 11th Street in Hermosa Beach around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.

A garage at the home caught fire shortly before 5 p.m. Hermosa Beach Police Chief Paul LeBaron says that at 9 p.m. police believed the suspect was still alive inside the home.
