Update Trench Rescue; INC#0575; 10:30AM; 9031 N El Dorado Av; https://bit.ly/3GwFIGF; #SunValley; Address corrected from Snelling Street. Two adult male construction workers were involved in an unspecified purpose trenching project in the side yard of a single family home, when the wall of a 4' deep trench that had "makeshift shoring" gave way, including soil and a concrete slab from a nearby sidewalk. One of the men escaped the trench with a leg injury prior to LAFD arrival, and is now being evaluated by paramedics. His conscious and alert co-worker remains in the trench, his leg(s) trapped by the aforementioned soil and concrete. LAFD responders, including those specially trained, certified and equipped for Urban Search and Rescue, are now at scene stabilizing the trench, providing concurrent medical care, and preparing to safely extract the trapped man. ; FS 77; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 6; BC10 BC12 BC14 CM42 E24 E260 E289 E7 E77 E88 EM14 HR3 RA7 RA77 RA88 RA889 T60 T88 T89 UR88 UR89; CH8; 17, 18; Brian Humphrey
