Water Main Repairs Force Detours for Valley Commuters
VALLEY VILLAGE — A Los Angeles City fire engine has been swallowed by a huge sinkhole caused by a new water main break in the San Fernando Valley.
The 6-inch pipe burst around 5:20 a.m. near the intersection of Hartsook Street and Bellingham Avenue, east of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and south of Magnolia Boulevard More.. in the Valley Village area.
Engine 60, with a crew of four, was responding to an “unkown water problem in the street” when the roadway buckled, swallowing the truck, Capt. Steve Ruda told KTLA.
Ruda said the engine had already made it across the area when the veteran Captain inside decided they should back out. Two firefighters were sent off the rig to help back the truck out while the Captain and engineer stayed inside the cabin, he said.
As the 42,000-pound engine was reversing, the roadway swallowed the vehicle nose-first, he said.
All firefighters escaped without injury.
The cabin slowly continued to sink into the muddy water-filled hole.
A car parked on the street would not start because of the water damage, one resident told KTLA.
Department of Water and Power spokeswoman Kim Hughes said water service in the area will be shut off.
Fire crews said the engine will have to be removed from the hole before the water can be shut off because the damaged pipe is inaccessible.
Usually, the engine would be pulled out by a large tow truck, however, crews aren’t sure if the roadway can support the weight. Ruda said geologists were being called in to determine what type of material they’re dealing with, and whether it’s stable enough to support more weight.
Traffic on Laurel Canyon Boulevard has not been affected by the incident.
The water main break is located just a few miles away from another pipe that burst Saturday in Studio City, forcing the closure of the heavily-traveled Coldwater Canyon Avenue.

This was a 2 alarm fire on September 1, 2007 in station 11’s first due on Conway Rd.
Without every single piece of equipment and every single firefighter on that scene, we most certainly would have had a loss of life.
Just listen to the mother on the phone as she was trapped in her bathroom with smoke and flames coming in, and she had no way out.
The City of Orlando is laying-off 46 firefighters in order to pay for such things as the performing arts center, the citrus bowl renovation, etc. All things that need to eventually come to Orlando but, not on the backs of your police and firefighters. The truth of the matter is that we don’t need a NEW performing arts center when our nation is in the middle of a financial crisis. We need to maintain the highest level of service possible and you just can’t do that with fewer personnel and closing down stations. Folks, we need you to help us gather as much support as you can through friends, co-workers, family. HELP US REACH 5,000 SUPPORTERS. SHARE THIS PAGE WITH EVERYONE ON YOUR FRIENDS LIST AND THEN HAVE THEM DO THE SAME. Anyone can express their outrage…and believe me, they’re listening.

lyric:
Fell like I’m invisible
And I walk in the middle of the drizzle
Landed in a place which is folded up
London please holds me up
Where are the caresses promised?
How the street are paved
With cold souls, cold souls
Feel like im invisible
As I walk in the midlle
What a pity, what a pity, what a pity
Fallen out of like, with the city
Hard to get a smile in a mile down
Frowns, there’s not enough love in this big town.
Where is the love, where is the love?
Cold souls where is the love, where is the love?
Cold souls a love in this big town
Cold souls where id the love, where is the love?
You promised me love
Feel like i’m invisible
Feel like i’m invisible
Feel like i’m invisible
Feel like i’m invisible
Exorcised the demons inside my head
As I walk I like what it was
