The Boyle Heights Fire is Way Scarier Than You Thought with Proyecto Pastoral's Raquel Roman

Raquel Román, MSW, Executive Director of Proyecto Pastoral, explains the layers of environmental and structural injustices of the Boyle Heights/Lineage fire response. She shares the terrible community impacts and the difficulties for first responders in dealing with the chemical fire and biohazard cleanup. The Boyle Height/ Lineage cold‑storage warehouse fire — which began on June 17, 2026 — lasted eight days, but the community is raising concerns about why the blaze kept reigniting, why they did not receive proper warnings or resources, what hazards may remain and who will be held accountable.https://www.proyectopastoral.org/raquelhttps://www.instagram.com/proyectopastoral/ https://www.instagram.com/diprimaradio/
