La Habra, CA, July 18, 2025 – A massive blaze tore through a carport Friday night, destroying multiple vehicles and prompting a large emergency response at an apartment complex in the 850 block of N. Citrus Drive. Firefighters arrived just after 8:30 PM to find heavy flames engulfing the carport behind the building. At least one resident drove their burning vehicle away, with crews extinguishing it a block away. It took about 30 minutes to knock down the fire. One person sustained minor burns but declined transport to the hospital. Neighbors reported a man was arrested and that fireworks may have played a role, though police have not confirmed that detail.
