A simulated wildfire in Tonner Canyon next week, expected to draw more than 600 firefighters from Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, may soon be snuffed out if the fire agencies and the city of Industry can't resolve a bureaucratic dispute.
The three-day drill, which has been held since 2009 on Industry's land in the canyon, began as a test to help smooth out the communication problems that plauged the response to the 2008 Freeway Complex Fire.
