LA Cold Storage Fire Crisis

A massive fire erupted in a cold-storage warehouse in Boyle Heights, LA, sending toxic smoke across the neighborhood and forcing residents to shelter in place. Mayor Karen Bass declared a state of emergency to mobilize resources, as firefighters battle not just flames but hazardous and biohazardous materials inside a facility holding 85 million pounds of frozen food. With the building’s structure making access nearly impossible, officials are now seeking state aid under California’s Disaster Assistance Act to safely contain and dispose of the dangerous contents — all while protecting public health and preventing environmental disaster.
