Warehouse Fire Leaves Toxic Smell | Venice Beach News

A massive cold-storage warehouse fire in Boyle Heights has left a lingering, foul odor that’s driving residents crazy—over 40 called in complaints in one day. The South Coast Air Quality Management District has slapped the company, Lineage Logistics, with a public nuisance violation, threatening hefty fines or even a lawsuit. The blaze destroyed 85 million pounds of food, and cleanup crews are just beginning to tackle the rotting mess. While residents demand accountability and compensation, Lineage is stepping up with housing vouchers, air purifiers, and other aid, aiming to clear the site in 45 days. The fire’s cause remains under investigation, but the focus is now on health, odor, and recovery. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
