Earthquake Mode 01/25/2023 INC#0109

Earthquake Mode; INC#0109; 02:00AM; Citywide; Los Angeles; The USGS preliminary report is a magnitude 4.2 earthquake at 2:00 AM PST centered just off the coast of Malibu, California (16km S of Malibu). The LAFD is now in earthquake mode. All 106 neighborhood fire stations will conduct a strategic survey of their districts, examining all major areas of concern (transportation infrastructures, large places of assemblages, apartment buildings, power-lines, etc). This survey will be conducted from the ground, air and sea. Once this process is complete and reports are consolidated, assuming there is no significant damage, Earthquake mode will be complete. This process typically takes less than one hour. There are currently no initial reports of structural damage or injuries. An update will be provided once earthquake mode is complete.; Nicholas Prange

KNOCKDOWN Greater Alarm Structure Fire; INC#1686; 09:59PM; 10322 N Sherman Grove Av; https://bit.ly/403PXNy; #Sunland; Firefighters arrived to find a single-family home with fire showing from the attached garage (exposing the neighboring home to flames) and a 16-year-old male outside with burns and injuries who was transported immediately in serious condition. Firefighters began the incident in a defensive posture, as there were reports of propane cannisters on site. After knocking back the initial heat and flames, firefighters made entry for interior fire attack on the fire unit, while others battled flames on the neighboring structure (keeping damage to the exterior surface only). The majority of the fire damage to the home was to the attached garage and attic. Ultimately, it took 77 firefighters 43 minutes to extinguish the blaze. One other patient was transported in fair condition.
