Rescue operation underway in Los Feliz after man falls into trench – NBC Los Angeles
Firefighters tried to rescue a man who fell into a trench in Los Feliz Thursday morning amid an excessive heat warning.
The adult man, who officials said was conscious and alert, was trapped inside the 8-foot ditch, stuck in soil up to his waist.
It’s not clear how the man fell into the trench, but he was doing some sort of construction work at a hillside home, the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Newschopper4 was overhead as the rescue operation was underway next to what appears to be a construction site to build a pool.
Responding firefighters and paramedics had to stabilize the trench walls before trying to pull the man out of the ditch.
As the rescue operation went underway, the temperature in the Los Feliz area reached well over 905degrees.

Rocchio added a solo shot off Anthony Banda that landed in the Dodgers’ bullpen for a 3-1 lead in the eighth on a night when the game-time temperature was 86 degrees (30 Celsius). It soared to over 100 (37 Celsius) earlier in the day and as a result the Dodgers are skipping batting practice this weekend because of the unusual triple-digit temperatures..
Knack (2-3) didn’t allow a hit until José Ramírez singled in the fifth. It was just the second baserunner for the AL Central-leading Guardians after Kyle Manzardo walked in the second.
Knack was recalled before the game to make his ninth start of the season for the Dodgers. The right-hander gave up two runs and three hits in six innings. He struck out a career-high eight and walked one.
