LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Fire Department says a body was found at the scene of a fire that began in a homeless encampment surrounded by thick brush along a freeway off-ramp.
The remains were described only as a female of unknown age.
The fire was reported late Tuesday morning in Granada Hills at the Balboa Boulevard exit from State Route 118.
Fire spread to the roof of an adjacent gas station market but firefighters prevented flames from getting inside the store or reaching the fuel pumps.
The fire remains under investigation.
