Los Angeles County firefighters appear to have gotten a handle on the Max Fire, but not before the fire scorched an estimated 500 acres of brush and burned some structures and cars in Lancaster Sunday.
A vegetation brush fire broke out in the city of Lancaster on Sunday, reigniting concerns among residents about the management of tumbleweeds and other fire hazards in the area.Scott, a resident of the affected neighborhood who has lived in the community for seven years, expressed frustration with local authorities. "I've been fighting with the city of Lancaster , telling them about the tumbleweeds.
"It's just that there was this drug use and people doing things. The stuff that's not good. Stuff that's too close to home," he said. "Every time with the illegal dumping you do in the middle of the day now and the sheriff doesn't come in and doesn't come with me. And my neighbors do is we put it in our own trash cans, which is kind of dirty, too, because you don't know what's in the chemicals.
