Update Flooding 02/02/2023 INC#1618

Update Flooding; INC#1618; 11:00PM; 6050 W Fountain Av; https://bit.ly/3XYQxLl; #Hollywood; Electric Fire Engine 82 arrived at the address where a flooding was reported to find water flowing in the gutters, but did not see where it originated. As the crew heard the street rumble under the Fire Engine, the driver took off, just as a large hole appeared under them. The rear of the apparatus fell into the hole. The Rosenbauer Fire Engine, being the only all-wheel drive fire engine in the fleet, gained enough traction with the power going to the front wheels to pull itself out of the hole and drive clear of the hazard (sustained some damage to the rear). As water shot dozens of feet into the air, Firefighters received reports of a woman trapped in a home being pounded by the falling stream of water. Crews were able to rescue her, without injury. Her home has now sustained a roof collapse and severe flooding. A SAVE card has been issued to help her with temporary lodging. Thankfully, neither firefighters nor residents were injured during this incident.; FS 82; Batt 5; West Bureau; Council District 13; BC5 E227 E82 RA827 T27; CH7; 13; Nicholas Prange
