At 10:05 a.m. on December 4, 2025, in Granada Hills, a fire broke out on the roof of a 50' x 150' building under construction on the campus of John F. Kennedy High School.
At the time of the 911 call, students were already being evacuated from other campus buildings by school staff, per protocol. No patients were transported to the hospital, though LAFD nurses and paramedics assessed several students for minor smoke inhalation.
The fire was confined to building materials on the roof -- although they put out a great deal of black smoke, the flames did not extend into the lower floors of the building. Knockdown was declared 26 minutes after arrival -- LAFD then coordinated with several agencies and school administration to inspect all of the surrounding buildings on campus to ensure students and staff remained safe.
