Video from the scene showed people burnt a couch, a bookshelf and much more ... and then everyone danced around the inferno with glee!!
Don't worry ... the fire department showed up quickly to douse the flames -- and law enforcement said no arrests were made and no injuries were reported.

Of course, the night was a long-awaited one for UCLA fans ... the once-storied program had been in a lull since its last Final 4 appearance in 2008.
In the 12 seasons that followed that run ... the Bruins had only advanced to the Sweet 16 three times, and had been largely mediocre or worse.
But, Mick Cronin's clearly got the guys rollin' this year ... and they'll try to beat Gonzaga on Saturday for a spot in the National Championship game.
And, if that happens ... party hard Bruins fans -- but, remember, PLEASE STAY SAFE!!!
