A landslide destroyed a Sherman Oaks home Wednesday morning and sent water gushing down the street after an outdoor pool was damaged. The incident unfolded shortly before 3 a.m. after residents reported downed power lines and a large tree that fell into a backyard in the 3700 block of North Ventura Canyon Avenue, the Los Angeles Fire Department announced in a news release.
Firefighters used pumps to remove water from a swimming pool to remove additional weight and stress from the hillside, authorities said. The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety was called to the scene and red-tagged one building, deeming the structure unsafe. Firefighters will continue to survey the area with drones, authorities said. The cause of the landslide has not yet been determined, according to LAFD spokesperson Nicholas Prange.
