Chiquita Canyon Landfill Fire Crisis | Los Angeles News

A massive underground fire at Chiquita Canyon landfill in Santa Clarita has tripled in size, threatening to unleash toxic runoff and endanger nearby communities. Residents are suffering from unbearable odors, some wearing gas masks, and families have fled their homes as kids can’t play outside. The fire, which started three years ago, is expected to burn for years — and it’s not alone: at least two other California landfills face similar dangers. This crisis underscores how complex and long-lasting environmental hazards can be, leaving people powerless as they wait for answers.
