LA city officials removing mountains of trash from Fairfax home

Los Angeles officials sent sanitation workers to clean out mountains of trash that surround a home in the Fairfax neighborhood. “This is just a tragedy,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said while standing in front of the property with piles of garbage. “One thing that I can tell you is that we are going to everything we can to begin to clear this today.” Bass, who said she learned about the treacherous condition Tuesday, called what she saw a “public health emergency.”
