Update Trench Rescue; INC#0750; 11:15AM; 2333 N Catalina St; https://bit.ly/4dRkZPp; #LosFeliz; The adult male worker (undetermined age or craft) remains conscious and alert, trapped by soil up to a point at or above his waist, in an 8 (eight) foot deep trench immediately adjacent to a load-bearing wall of the adjacent hillside residence. First arriving Firefighters and Paramedics have stabilized the trench walls, patient and overall construction site, to allow LAFD responders specially trained and equipped in confined space operations, to swiftly commence the high risk rescue within the trench.; FS 35; Batt 5; West Bureau; Council District 4; BC11 BC14 BC731 CM52 E205 E227 E235 E27 E35 E56 EM5 HR3 RA27 RA35 RA827 T35 T5 UR27 UR88; CH7; 14;

#MediaAdvisory - Trench Rescue; INC#0750; 11:21AM; 2333 N Catalina St; https://bit.ly/4dRkZPp; #LosFeliz; LAFD Public Information Officers Captain Erik Scott and Firefighter David Ortiz are en route to assist the media. NOTE: The LAFD Incident Commander has formally requested all media helicopters in the vicinity increase their altitude and/or distance from the still active rescue scene for patient and responder safety, as noise from media aircraft is actively hindering the ability of responders to communicate with the patient and one another.; FS 35; Batt 5; West Bureau; Council District 4; AP4 BC11 BC14 BC731 CM52 E203 E205 E227 E235 E27 E3 E35 E56 EA2 EM5 HR3 PI1 PI4 RA27 RA35 RA827 T3 T35 T5 UR27 UR3 UR88; CH7; 12 14;

Complete - Trench Rescue; INC#0750; 04:54PM; 2333 N Catalina St; https://bit.ly/4dRkZPp; #LosFeliz; After nearly six hours of a relentless rescue effort in oppressive heat by dozens of Los Angeles Fire Department responders working seamlessly in non-stop rotation, the adult male construction worker has been skillfully removed from the unstable 8 (eight) foot deep trench at a residential construction site. In serious condition, he is soon to be transported by LAFD Paramedics to a regional trauma center. Two LAFD rescuers were treated at the scene for heat exhaustion, with one later taken to an area hospital for further medical evaluation. No other injuries reported.

Don't see the vacuum truck listed as an LAFD asset, but there was one working there with something like 100 feet of pipe leading from the truck to the trench. Wonder how much vacuum loss they get in a stretch like that?
