Confined Space Rescue; INC#1245; 06:09PM; 18900 W Knapp St; https://bit.ly/3nnQCuv; #Northridge; Homeowner stated 50 year-old male plumber entered crawlspace in (3 foot maximimum) raised foundation beneath their 2,100 square foot one-story home (built 1958), as many as three hours prior, and was not seen or heard from since, and not responsive to homeowner shouts or noise. LAFD crews, including those specially trained and equipped in Urban Search & Rescue arrived quickly to ventilate and monitor the enclosed environment, and soon visibly noted a small portion of the still unresponsive worker's body at a distance. Firefighters cutting the second of two holes in the home's floor with chainsaws to gain best access, and to assist in his efficient removal, awakened the sleeping worker, who soon thereafter crawled from beneath the home uninjured. LAFD crews are now medically evaluating the plumber, who does not appear in need of ambulance transportation.; FS 70; Batt 15; Valley Bureau; Council District 12; BC12 BC14 BC15 E103 E273 E288 E289 E70 E88 EM15 HR3 RA104 RA87 RA889 RA89 T73 T88 T89 UR88 UR89; CH8; 13; Brian Humphrey
