A quick-burning house fire in Hacienda Heights killed a woman and boy and left a man and girl hospitalized, authorities said Monday.
The blaze started about 10:30 p.m. Sunday at a house in the 1700 block of Piermont Drive in Hacienda Heights.
Arriving firefighters found two people dead inside, said Deputy Lillian Peck of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The man and girl were taken to a hospital, where their conditions were not immediately available, she said.
Witnesses reported hearing popping sounds at the time of the fire. Peck said the source of the popping was unclear, but it could have been electrical wires exploding.
The fire's cause was under investigation, and homicide detectives also were called to the scene.
