LANCASTER – An explosion and fire damaged a large UPS warehouse and several big-rig trailers in Lancaster Monday morning, but no one was hurt, authorities said.

The fire was reported around 9 a.m. Monday, April 11, in the 200 block of West Avenue L, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

About 70 firefighters were sent to the scene on a second-alarm assignment, the fire department reported.

“The fire spread throughout a metal clad building and extended to possibly five or six trailers,” the fire department said in a statement. “Knockdown reported at 10:02 a.m.”

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

    Why is this site reporting no injuries, but several others are saying one injured and taken by ambulance to AV? I’m so glad no one was killed, however. Could have been much worse. Stuff can be replaced. Trailers can be replaced. Buildings can be rebuilt. Lives can not.
