HOLIDAY, Fla. (AP) -- Officials say they've evacuated several Tampa Bay area homes after a sinkhole opened up beneath one house.
Pasco Fire Rescue responded to the Holiday neighborhood Monday afternoon.
Chief Shawn Whited says they initially estimated the hole to be about 30 feet wide and 15 feet deep, but it was still growing. Firefighters evacuated the affected home, as well as four other surrounding houses. Whited says the structures will have to remain empty until an engineer can inspect the hole either later Monday or Tuesday.
Whited says the sinkholes can usually be stabilized and filled in.
No injuries were reported.
