Summary

  • A man was rescued by Los Angeles Fire Department crews after falling down a steep embankment in the backyard of a Sherman Oaks residence.
  • The technical rescue involved a low-angle rope operation due to the difficult terrain. The man received advanced life-saving care at the scene and was transported to the hospital in grave condition.

Timeline

Firefighter-paramedics provided advanced life-saving care at the scene before transporting the patient to the hospital in grave condition.

Because the patient was located in a difficult-to-access area below the embankment, LAFD crews initiated a technical rescue. Firefighters used a low-angle rope operation to safely reach, stabilize, and extricate the man from the backyard terrain.

The fall was described as long, and the man had been down for an extended period before firefighters arrived.

Around 7:55 p.m., emergency crews responded after reports that an adult male had fallen down a steep embankment in the backyard of a private residence.
