LA County Toughens Penalties After Warehouse Fire | Los Angeles News

LA County just upped penalties for public health violations and launched a fast-track fund to help small businesses hit by disasters — including the recent Boyle Heights warehouse fire and an earlier oil spill. Supervisor Hilda Solis pushed for quicker compensation and tougher fines, demanding a 60-day report on how the county’s emergency fund can be better used — and even calling for county attorneys to pursue reimbursement from responsible parties. The company behind the fire says cleanup is mostly done and has already poured millions into aid, including air purifiers and business support.
