There have been concerns all day that some residents of the Oakridge Mobile Home Park could not get out before the fire swept through.

Authorities spent the afternoon checking -- but so far have found no bodies, said Ed Winter, assistant director of the L.A. County coroner's office.

“We feel pretty comfortable that LAPD and fire were able to get everyone out,” he said. They have coroner's dogs and personnel standing by, but search and rescue started combing through the mobile home park and have not found anyone.
