JEFFERSON PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — <\/span>One person was found dead after a fire ignited in the garage of a home in Jefferson Park, triggering a series of fireworks explosions. A second person was injured.<\/p>\n

Neighbors who spoke to Eyewitness News described several explosions that even shook their homes.<\/p>\n

Citizen App video footage recorded by a passing driver showed fireworks exploding over the garage and nearby homes as tall flames and a column of black smoke rose into the sky.<\/p>\n

Exclusive surveillance video from a neighbor captured the loud explosions echoing through the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

“Then all of a sudden, boom, the whole place shook like an earthquake. And once it shook, I definitely jumped up, ran from the bedroom, ran to this door here, and this is my front door there, 25 steps. I opened it up, and that’s when I just saw fireworks everywhere and flames,” said neighbor Marian Fifi Locke.<\/p>\n

Locke lives just steps away from the home that went up in flames around 5:30 a.m. in the 2400 block of South Ninth Avenue.<\/p>\n

She says she opened her neighbor’s door and called the tenant’s name, but got no response. Officials confirmed that the tenant died in the fire, and a 30-year-old woman was injured.<\/p>\n

The identity of the deceased person was not immediately released, but Locke described him as a man in his mid-20s who was very respectful to her.<\/p>\n

“Very kind. Very mannerable and stuff like that. Never gave us a problem or an issue or anything like that,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It was just explosions. It shook our house, and it shook the neighbors behind,” said neighbor Monica Boswell.<\/p>\n

\n

Exclusive video shared by Boswell shows the fireworks going off and the loud explosions, which startled her family.<\/p>\n

“I saw the fireworks, and then I got my children out of the home,” Boswell said. “Unfortunately, my dog ran out. So we lost the dog, and I have some damage to my home.”<\/p>\n

Remnants of firework packaging now litter the backyard near the home. The Los Angeles Fire Department said the fire was extinguished within 20 minutes of the firefighters’ arrival.<\/p>\n

Locke says she had no idea her neighbor was storing so many fireworks.<\/p>\n

“It would have been different if it was just one box or one case — these were cases. He must have had them full in his apartment, and then he stored the others in the garage,” Locke said.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Los Angeles police confirmed that officers removed a large quantity of fireworks from the home.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.<\/p>\n
