It took 44 firefighters less than half an hour to put out flames in a single-story house in Sun Valley Saturday evening.

The fire was reported about 5:45 p.m. Saturday at 10736 W. Stagg St., said the Los Angeles Fire Department's Margaret Stewart. It was out at 6:12 p.m.

The home was located at the rear of the property, she said.

Firefighters located a lithium-ion battery on the balcony, Stewart said. It is protocol for a team of LAFD hazmat specialists to help deal with the potential hazard the battery poses.
