Update Structure Fire; INC#1126; 03:58PM; 14654 W Raymer St; http://bit.ly/2ZFHPYi; Van Nuys; Originally reported as a structure fire, the structures near a large outside fire have been protected. The railways nearby are unaffected. This will be an extended operation to eliminate all of the stubborn fire in this pile (many hours). Ladder pipes are being deployed and the tactic could be described as "surround and drown." Private contractors are assisting with moving large debris to allow better access to hot spots. No reported injuries. Unknown cause/loss. MOTORISTS: Keswick and Raymer are shut down to allow fire department members to operate safely around this incident; FS 81; Batt 10; Valley Bureau; Council District 6; BC10 BC12 BC14 BC5 CE83 CE84 CM42 E100 E102 E227 E239 E273 E288 E289 E290 E298 E3 E39 E5 E7 E81 EM14 HR3 RA39 RA7 RA889 T27 T29 T73 T88 T89 T90 T98 UR27 UR88; CH9; 12 14; - Nicholas Prange

Occupants of the 25 homes, businesses and a house of worship along the one block segment of Saticoy Street east of White Oak Avenue, including the 8 homes on Jellico Avenue just north and south of Saticoy Street will be rehoused shortly. SoCal Gas crews will visit homes in the immediate evacuation area to restore service where natural gas was turned off as a precaution.

Update Natural Gas Leak; INC#0535; 12:30PM; 17673 W Saticoy St; http://bit.ly/2UykHEZ; Lake Balboa; @SoCalGas experts are working on site, with additional special equipment en route. The effort to fully stop the leak could take as much as two more hours (~ 2:30 PM?). Though natural gas can be flammable at specific concentrations, LAFD Hazmat experts are using special sensors to monitor natural gas fumes in the community, and have identified no specific concern beyond the initial 500' precautionary zone. There has been no fire, and no one has experienced any illness or injury. Winds remain light and variable. Out of an abundance of caution, approximately 25 homes, businesses and a house of worship along a one block segment of Saticoy Street east of White Oak Avenue, including 8 homes on Jellico Avenue just north and south of Saticoy Street will remain evacuated until the situation is fully controlled. While no additional evacuations are anticipated, any such actions related to this event would be highly local, and made via door-to-door notification by uniformed Police or Fire officials.; FS 73; Batt 17; Valley Bureau; Council District 12; Dispatched LAFD Units: BC17 CE84 CM42 E100 E103 E290 E73 E88 EM10 HM75 PI3 RA100 RA73 SQ87 T73 T90; Radio Channels: 8; 12; - Brian Humphrey
