Another industrial inferno in Los Angeles working class neighborhood - World Socialist Web Site
Summary
Vehicle Fire Los Angeles California in Los Angeles, California: A catastrophic industrial fire erupted on June 17 at the Lineage Logistics cold-storage facility in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. The fire began on the roof of the 491,000-square-foot warehouse at 1400 S. Los Palos Street at approximately 2:35 p.m., reportedly during solar panel testing by contractors. The release of highly toxic and flammable ammonia triggered localized explosions, forcing the Los Angeles Fire Department to abandon interior operations, and the fire smoldered for days, prompting unhealthy-air alerts across eastern Los Angeles County. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency following the fire.
