The break was reported about 5:20 a.m., McClure said.
The fire truck blundered into the sinkhole and was left with its back half protruding at a 45-degree angle. No injuries were immediately reported.
That's just a few blocks from where a 64-inch steel water main broke Sunday, flooding a section of Studio City and washing away an important thoroughfare across the Hollywood Hills. Dozens of homes and businesses were damaged, prompting evacuations. Coldwater Canyon Avenue between Halkirk and Ventura is projected to be closed and under repair through Friday.
It was not immediately determined what caused the latest break and if it was related to the rupture Saturday night of a 95-year-old 64-inch pipe in neighboring Studio city. The weekend rupture sent a flood over several streets, including Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Ventura Boulevard.
