Aircraft Emergency; INC#1415; 08:09PM; 3535 Beverly Glen Terrace; https://bit.ly/3Lmc8Ix; #ShermanOaks; PRELIM: Air Traffic Control asked LAFD to check a large swath of mountainous territory near Stone Canyon Road and Mulholland Drive (east of the San Diego Freeway) after they reportedly lost radar contact with a small, single engine airplane *believed* to be traveling between Santa Monica and Van Nuys Airport. There were no 9-1-1 calls reporting any related sights or sounds. LAFD helicopters and ground crews searched the large fog shrouded region for nearly an hour before an LAFD helicopter localized a signal from an aircraft Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) in the vicinity (believed within a quarter-mile) of Beverly Glen Terrace and Beverly Glen Boulevard. LAFD ground crews are continuing a grid search of the rugged terrain north of Mulholland Drive, as a pair of LAFD helicopters seek to provide command support in the foggy skies above. If and when an aircraft is located, we will issue an additional LAFD Alert with updates.; FS 99; Batt 10; Valley Bureau; Council District 5; AO1 AO2 BC10 E108 E109 E288 E88 EM14 H3 H4 HA3 HA4 HR3 RA83 RA88 RA99 RH114 T88 UR88; CH8; 17; Brian Humphrey
