Warehouse fire at Lineage facility in Boyle Heights prompts…
Vehicle Fire Orange California in Orange, California: A fire ignited at a Lineage cold-storage warehouse in Boyle Heights on June 17, 2026, releasing the toxic refrigerant anhydrous ammonia and prompting Los Angeles Fire Department shelter-in-place orders that were lifted and then reimposed. Residents reported smoky air and coughing for days, and on the sixth day an air monitor detected a hazardous spike of air pollutants. The state Division of Occupational Safety and Health inspected the facility the day the fire started. Separately, weeks earlier in Orange County, the Orange County Fire Authority issued an evacuation order affecting 50,000 Garden Grove residents over a potential explosion or toxic leak at an aerospace manufacturing facility.
