A fire heavily damaged two units at an apartment building in the 7100 block of Farralone Avenue early Saturday, Los Angeles Fire Department officials said.
A woman was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation, Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said.
The fire started about 2:30 a.m. and it took 45 firefighters about 35 minutes to extinguish it, he said.
Officials said the fire was caused by an unattended candle in a ground-floor apartment and spread to the unit above it.
The fire caused about $130,000 in damage to both units.
