EMINENT LANDSLIDE:
On Wednesday, January 12, 2005, at 1321 hours (1:21 p.m. P.S.T.), two companies of Los Angeles Firefighters, one Battalion Command Officer Team, Emergency Lighting, and one Brush Patrol, under the direction of Battalion Commander Evan Williams, responded to a report of an eminent landslide in the rear of five homes in the 7800 block of West Woodrow Wilson Drive in the Laurel Canyon area. Homeowners living below the unstable hillside met with the first unit on the scene and reported hearing strange noises coming from the ground and the hillside above their homes. Upon further investigation by Firefighters, it was ascertained that what appeared to be a fissure (150’ long, 4’ deep and 1’ wide) was visible above the five mid-slope homes. About fifteen residents were evacuated from the five homes as a safety precaution. Geologists, Grading Inspectors and Building & Safety personnel were called in to inspect the hillside and red tag the homes if necessary. It was determined by Geologists that the homes should be evacuated for a period of at least 2-3 days while the slipping soil settle on the bedrock. No injuries were reported. Geologist and other city agencies remained on the scene to monitor what is perceived to be a dangerous situation.
Saw those on TV. Paul & Colleen had someone posted at the scene. They talked about "new developments" and then showed yesterday afternoon's footage. :) Anything new on it?
Also, whatever happened to that big white boxy house in Glendale?
