At least one home was evacuated and one vehicle was damaged early today when a broken sprinkler system triggered a mudslide in the Hollywood Hills area.

Firefighters responded about 5:30 a.m. to a home in the 7000 block of Los Tilos Road after the mudslide, said spokesman Brian Humphrey, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department.

"There was an apparent rupture of a 1-inch private irrigation line," Humphrey said.

Flooding from the ruptured line sent mud and vegetation down the hillside, damaging a parked vehicle and threatening a home, he said. Los Tilos Road was closed because of the mudslide, Humphrey said. The Department of Building and Safety will determine whether it will be safe for the occupants of the house to stay.
