Los Angeles County firefighters quickly extinguished a house fire that was sending a large smoke plume into the air in Lakewood this afternoon, authorities said.

The blaze started shortly before 1:30 p.m. in a garage on the 6300 block of Droxford Street, according to Sky Cornell, a spokesperson for the L.A. County Fire Department.
