Unfortunately, the latest Universal Studios fire comes as no surprise to me. Highly explosive and highly flammable gases continue to be generated in several old dumpsites (landfills) located on the lot. Wisteria Lane (Desperate Housewives set) is on top of one of these landfills and the Gibson Amphitheatre is on a portion of another. Until these dumps are cleaned up, explosions and fires may occur again and again at Universal Studios.
