The Los Angeles County Fire Department battled flames that destroyed one house and caused the evacuation of 25 nearby homes in the hills above Claremont and La Verne Monday evening.
The La Verne Fire Department has set up a victim relief fund to cover funeral expenses following a fire last week, which killed three La Verne residents, two of whom were children.
The La Verne Fire Department is still investigating the cause of a house fire, which started in a D Street garage and spread, demolishing the structure.
