Los Angeles County Fire Capt. Mark Savage says investigators tell him the blaze early Sunday was directly related to a dispute between two ex-roommates. Savage did not elaborate.
No arrests have been made.
The resident was home alone in the four-story building when the fire broke out and was able to escape uninjured. About 100 tenants were evacuated while fire crews doused the blaze in about 20 minutes.
Her top-floor unit was completely destroyed. Two apartments below sustained water damage.
