by City News Service • December 28, 2020

LANCASTER – Fire damaged a Lancaster home Saturday night and one occupant was hospitalized as a result, authorities said.

The fire was reported at 9:50 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 26, on the 1200 block of Herzel Street, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Flames were showing from the second floor of the two-story house when firefighters arrived, officials said.
