3 rescued from flooded Pacoima wash

Wild scene here, multiple rescues from dangerous waters in the L.A. River during the height of the storm, especially in the San Fernando Valley where three people were plucked from the flooded Pacoima Wash. Fox 11's Christina Gonzalez live in the North Hills with more on the dramatic rescues. Christina. Yeah, we're right where Parthenia crosses over the Pacoima Wash. And let me get out of the way because it's amazing how quickly, we're in between cells and you can see how much the water recedes and goes down and you can also see how quickly people actually start going into that water where just a few hours ago they pulled out two men and one woman. Here's what that looked like. You can see that river really kind of just rushing down there, that victim hanging onto the side. From Sky Fox, one of three people rescued from the Pacoima Wash between North Hills and Van Nuys in the San Fernando Valley. The people right here, they fall in the water. It's slippery. You know, the concrete is slippery. One wrong step and, you know, you can fall down and that's about it. L.A. City fire crews responding to encampments along the riverbed where people were in trouble. They were just yelling out, you know, they needed some help and the body was turning, their bodies were turning upside down and you just see them fighting for air. How did you end up in the water? I tried to help someone. I tried to help someone and they were in there so I jumped in trying to help them. As rescue teams continue plucking people out from the rushing water. I jumped in the water and I started, well, she hopped on me and I started drowning. So I ended up getting close to the wall and I just pulled her off from there. Then they took her. They were able to get her? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They pulled us both out. The water is unforgiving and he's not the only one saying it. People don't think it's that strong, but the water is really strong. It's like, almost feels like supernatural strength that it has because you can't even stand up on it. So, yeah, it's strong. You can see now live again the water not in that situation again we're in between cells people are getting in there and you can see the encampments that in the slippery slope really really slippery I was down there it's a pretty dangerous situation but as of right now I think the worst of the rain is over we do have some cells that have been going over and over and you're going to ask do they come in here and tell these people to move before it rains yet. Yes, Christine, they do, they have, and they don't. It's an ongoing problem. The three people who were pulled out, one woman and two men, they're all going to be okay, we are told. Live in the North Hills area, I'm Christina Gonzalez. Back to you in the studio, Christina. All right, Christina, thank you.
