Update Traffic Collision; INC#1065; 7:05PM; 12850 W Branford St; http://bit.ly/31Pmh82; Pacoima; There are updated medical conditions for the 2 injured women taken to the hospital: The sedan occupant is in fair condition, while the apartment dweller is in serious condition. The dump truck will likely be removed from the structure within the hour, under the watchful eye of more than 50 LAFD Firefighters who have been assigned to the incident. The LA Dept of Building & Safety has red-tagged three units of the 28 unit apartment building as untenable, and will further evaluate the structure when the truck is removed. Because of the physical damage and need to secure all utilities at the building, the (unknown total number of) occupants of all 28 units will be temporarily displaced. The LAFD is shuttling residents to a temporary shelter at Montague Charter Academy (13000 Montague Street, Arleta, CA 91331), for personal comfort and needs assessment. The American Red Cross has been notified. ; FS 98; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 6; - Brian Humphrey
