A fire official at the scene told a reporter that there were no injuries.

| VIDEO: 2 found dead after fire rips through California home with thousands of rounds of ammunition Authorities found two deceased people and a dog, along with thousands of rounds of ammunition and multiple firearms in the rubble of a burned Sylmar home Sunday. Rounds of ammunition exploded as flames ripped through the home on Glenoaks Boulevard and some firefighters were concerned that someone was firing at them. "They did hear ammunition going off," said Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Erik Scott. "It was going off in such a pattern that they weren't sure if it was being shot live from a gun, or if it was just ammunition that was stored that was getting heated, cooked off and started to pop." The fire was reported around 4:40 a.m. in the 13000 block of North Glenoaks. The flames burned through the main house and then spread to two back houses, which all sustained major damage. Firefighters extinguished the fire in a little over an hour. KABC-TV ABC 7 LOS ANGELES Nashville Fire Department's HazMat team gets a new, 'first-of-its-kind' credential The Nashville Fire Department is now credentialed as a State Type 1 Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high yield explosives (CBRNE) team. It took them over 5 years to get the designation. What does this mean? This designation acknowledges the Nashville Fire Department's ability to handle hazardous materials and dangerous situations involving CBRNE. It came from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA). "The Nashville Fire Department has had a HazMat team since 1978, making NFD's team one of the first in the country," NFD and Nashville Office of Emergency Management Director, Chief William Swann, said. "With this first-of-its-kind credentialing from TEMA to NFD we are certifying that we are better trained and equipped to handle various dangerous situations."
