Boyle Heights warehouse fire persists for a week
A weeklong fire at a refrigerated warehouse in Boyle Heights has caused persistent toxic smoke covering southeast Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Valley. Officials have opened shelters and canceled summer activities, but critics argue that the response was insufficient, with concerns about prolonged exposure to harmful chemicals from the fire. Experts warn that continued smoke poses serious health risks, especially to children, pregnant women, and vulnerable populations, due to dangerous particles, gases, and chemical vapors released from incinerated insulation, plastics, and paint.
