A truck fire set ablaze a massive mound of propane tanks Friday afternoon in Lancaster. No injuries were reported as firefighters continued to battle the flames into the evening. <\/p>\n
The L.A. County Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire at 2:22 p.m. Friday and found a propane truck had caught fire in the 42500 block of North 8th Street East in Lancaster, the department confirmed. The truck fire spread and lit a pile of hundreds of propane tanks stacked on the property. <\/p>\n
Video from a KTLA helicopter showed explosions sending propane tanks flying. The flames sent smoke billowing above the nearby industrial area of Challenger Way.<\/p>\n
Firefighters set up a 300-foot perimeter around the fire and continued to battle the flames into the evening, a department spokesman said. No injuries had been reported as of 4:45 p.m. and no cause for the vehicle fire was released. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A truck fire set ablaze a massive mound of propane tanks Friday afternoon in Lancaster.
