Update Flooding 08/23/2020 INC#0095

Update Flooding; INC#0095; 08:15AM; 10630 W Sunset Bl; https://bit.ly/3glQd2o; Westwood; 32 LAFD personnel remain assigned in an assisting agency role to LADWP and UCLA who are in unified command of the incident. Though no injuries or missing persons have been reported, LAFD will perform a comprehensive search of flooded subterranean sections of the UCLA Lot 4 Parking Structure as the floodwaters subside, and also assist L.A. Street Services in removing the toppled trees from Sunset Boulevard. Initial reports are that no other UCLA facilities, including nearby Pauley Pavilion sustained substantive damage. Sunset Boulevard remains full closed between Veteran Avenue and Hilgard Avenue, as does Stone Canyon Road from Sunset Boulevard to Bellagio Road, for an unknown duration. Motorists should avoid the immediate area and consider an alternate route. Detours are readily available. Bus riders should Follow @MetroLAAlerts on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/MetroLAAlerts ) to determine any service impact. Motorists are encouraged to monitor traffic reports on news radio. NOTE: The location of this leak is near that of a similar *July 29, 2014* event. Any media inquiries should be directed to LADWP or UCLA.; FS 71; Batt 9; West Bureau; Council District 5; Dispatched LAFD Units: BC9 CM51 CM52 E19 E237 E278 E292 E447 E59 E71 EM55 RA71 T37 T78 T92 TO54; Radio Channels: 7; 12; - Brian Humphrey

Flooding 08/23/2020 INC#0095

Flooding; INC#0095; 01:37AM; 10630 W Sunset Bl; https://bit.ly/3glQd2o; Westwood; LAFD preceded LADWP (now on scene) to a large subterranean water line break, with rising floodwater toppling two trees and beginning to enter UCLA property to the south, as well as one residential property on the north side of Sunset Boulevard. Though Pauley Pavilion is nearby, water has not yet entered that facility, which is being protected by UCLA staff with sandbags. The floodwater is not threatening student housing, but may impact other campus facilities in the immediate area only. There is no imminent life hazard and no call for evacuation. The toppled trees and floodwater have led to the full closure of Sunset Boulevard between Veteran Avenue and Hilgard Avenue for an unknown duration. Motorists should avoid the immediate area and consider an alternate route. Detours are readily available. Bus riders should Follow @MetroLAAlerts on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/MetroLAAlerts ) to determine any service impact. Motorists are encouraged to monitor traffic reports on news radio. NOTE: The location of this leak is near that of a similar July 29, 2014 event. The LAFD is presently standing by in a support role, and media inquiries should be directed to LA DWP.; FS 71; Batt 9; West Bureau; Council District 5; Dispatched LAFD Units: BC9 E19 E278 E292 E447 E59 E71 T78 T92; Radio Channels: 7; 12; - Brian Humphrey
