LOS ANGELES—A plumber entered a crawlspace of a Northridge home and fell asleep for about three hours March 25 until firefighters cut holes in the floor and woke him up.
The worried homeowner contacted the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) after the 50-year-old man entered the crawl space under the 2,100-square-foot home and was not seen or heard from for up to three hours, said the fire department’s Brian Humphrey.

The homeowner shouted for the plumber but there was no response, he said….
