Wildomar officials are trying to clear out dozens of unkempt Black Series trailers, some with missing windows and flat tires, that have apparently relocated there after being removed from the City of Industry in March. Video recorded on Thursday showed the trailers crammed into a lot near homes and businesses on the 20700 block of Palmar Street. Area residents are concerned about the trash piling up and the dangers of fires erupting from the encampment.
