Firefighter rescues teens from fire at Huntington Beach duplex

HUNTINGTON BEACH - A fire damaged a duplex in Huntington Beach today, and a firefighter rescued two teens unharmed from a second-story bedroom, authorities said.

The fire was reported at 6:48 a.m. in the 7800 block of Talbert Avenue, Huntington Beach Assistant Fire Marshal Jeff Lopez said.

The fire began in the garage of the two-story duplex, and spread to the interior of the building. The teen-age boys tried to get out through the hallway, but were driven back into the bedroom by the smoke, Lopez said.

A firefighter used a ladder to rescue them through the bedroom window, and they were unhurt, Lopez said. The cause of the fire was under investigation. A damage estimate was not immediately available.
