A tree, weighing in at 100,000 pounds according to firefighters, came crashing down on a home in Encino late Sunday night, resulting in the death of one man.
Firefighters from the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the call around 11 p.m. on Sunday, and arrived to see that the huge oak tree had fallen, with great force, on a two-story home on Odessa Avenue.
The Urban Search and Rescue team, along with 30 firefighters, assisted those inside the home.
Two women, and the family dog, were trapped on the first floor. They were able to escape with the assistance of the fire department.
A man in his 60s was found on the second floor of the home, killed by the tree's collapse.
It's too early to say what caused the tree to fall in the first place, but firefighters say it does not appear to be related to the weather.
