Comments Off

WHILE THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY’s CORONER’S officers were busy combing the Oakridge Mobile Home Park today looking for fire fatalities (Firegeezer story HERE), the Sylmar station of the Coroner’s Office burned down in the wildfire.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Coroner’s spokeswoman Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said the facility was a total loss, although employees were able to rescue computers and vehicles.

“Everything else was burned,” MacWillie said. The three investigators that used to be housed there will now be redeployed, possibly to the San Fernando police station.

The Sylmar office is one of three offices maintained by the coroner.  The other two are in Los Angeles and Lancaster.
