Initial Summary:   Los Angeles Firefighters were summoned to investigate smoke in the 8800 block of South Sepulveda Boulevard. At approximately 1440hrs, an explosion occurred at a nearby building, causing injury to two male Firefighters and one civilian. Firefighter Brent A. Lovrien, assigned to the 'A' Platoon at Fire Station 95 since October 2005, died shortly after arrival at the Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center, Marina Campus. Engineer Anthony J. Guzman, age 48, an 18 year veteran of the LAFD assigned to the 'A' Platoon at Fire Station 95 since February 2002, suffered multiple fractures and facial trauma. He was transported to the UCLA Medical Center in Westwood, where he remains in serious but stable condition following surgery. Preliminary reports indicate the civilian was treated at the scene and released. As dictated by Fire Department policy, a formal and detailed multi-agency investigation is underway to determine the exact nature of the explosion, as well as the precise cause and manner of Firefighter Lovrien's death.
