A firefighter was hurt and 20 people were left homeless by a fire that heavily damaged an aging South Los Angeles home. Antonio and Maria Romero and their children and grandchildren were awakened by firefighters breaking down their door as fire snaked up the roof of their home, Fire Department spokesman Jim Wells said.
