Vehicle Fire Orange California in Orange, California: A fire ignited at a Lineage cold-storage warehouse in Boyle Heights on June 17, 2026, that uses the toxic refrigerant anhydrous ammonia. The Los Angeles Fire Department ordered residents to shelter in place due to the risk of chemical release, lifting and reimposing the order. Lineage said a contractor working on a rooftop solar array started the fire, and the LAFD is investigating the cause. Separately, weeks earlier in Orange County, an evacuation order affecting 50,000 Garden Grove residents was issued over a potential explosion or toxic leak at an aerospace manufacturing facility.
