The Los Angeles County Fire Department first received reports of the leak on Old Ridge Route in Castaic just after 4:20pm PST and issued a shelter-in-place order affecting around 14,000 residents. Video footage of the gas leak showed a billowing smoke cloud and what appeared to be land movement caused by the burst. The rupture raised fears that a landslide or storm-related soil issue caused the gas leak. However, LA Fire officials later said they believe the rupture occurred due to extreme pressure on the pipe, and are still investigating the cause.
