LAFD: "Chemical Investigation; INC#1411; 05:54PM; 2800 S Sepulveda Bl; MAP: https://bit.ly/41XrHN9; #RanchoPark; LAFD responded to an "oil-like" substance continuously seeping from the ground. Firefighters have called for a vacuum truck and sand to mitigate the environmental effect. Several agencies have been notified (Clean Harbors, Street Services, Watershed, and possible responsible parties for the substance)." #hazmat #oil

"Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground come a bubblin crude.
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea."
Not an old well, the nearest well drilled in that neighborhood (Chevron) was a dry hole. But, LA has plenty of seeps.
@ai6yr Speaking of oil... Ever been to the La Brea Tar Pits? If not, you should. That's the biggest clue of all that the whole region is bulging with oil. It's been seeping out and pooling on the surface for millions of years.
