Vehicle Fire Orange California in Orange, California: A fire broke out on June 17 at a Lineage cold storage facility in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, prompting a state of emergency and evacuations. The facility uses the toxic refrigerant anhydrous ammonia, and authorities gave residents conflicting information about whether methyl methacrylate had leaked. On June 22, an air monitor detected a hazardous spike of air pollutants on the sixth day of the fire. Separately, weeks earlier in Orange County, the Fire Authority issued an evacuation order affecting 50,000 Garden Grove residents over a tank at an aerospace manufacturing facility that could explode or leak toxic chemicals.
