The fire destroyed one mobile home and damaged two adjacent ones, Humphrey said. Firefighters doused the flames in 46 minutes.
"One adult male civilian who sustained significant burn injury to his face and hands, was taken to an area hospital by LAFD Paramedics in serious condition," Humphrey said.
No other injuries were reported. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
"The LAFD has proudly protected the incorporated and independent 2.37- square-mile city of San Fernando with around-the-clock fire and emergency medical services under contract since 1979," Humphrey said.
