Owner Jimmy Nguyen said the land has been sliding behind his house on Sladen Crescent for about a week and that the city is aware of the situation. Nguyen has “no idea what’s going to happen next,” he said.

The presence of the police and fire brigade today is due to someone reporting active sliding, according to Nguyen.
