An explosion and fire damaged a large UPS warehouse and several big-rig trailers in Lancaster Monday, but no one was hurt, authorities said.
The fire was reported in the 200 block of West Avenue L about 9 a.m., 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 was under investigation.
