One Los Angeles County firefighter was killed and another injured Friday in an explosion that ripped through an Antelope Valley quarry as fire crews responded to a burning front loader, officials said. Authorities have not released the names of the firefighters or said what caused the explosion, which occurred in the early afternoon in the 6500 block of East Avenue T in the Palmdale area.
It's just such, such a tragedy,' Marrone said. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Cmdr. Mark Reyes said the agency's homicide bureau and arson unit had started a death investigation, but that it was too early to say what caused the explosion. Hours after the blast, a KTLA-TV Channel 5 helicopter showed firefighters continuing to spray water on the front loader. L.A.
