LA cold-storage warehouse fire rages for days, triggering city emergency response
A dayslong fire at a nearly 500,000-square-foot Los Angeles cold-storage warehouse has prompted the city to declare an emergency and tap state resources, with 85 million pounds of frozen food inside and thick smoke affecting air quality citywide. Firefighters face dangerous conditions including roof collapse, wall instability, and an ammonia leak, using helicopters to assist with water drops. Lineage, the tenant-operator, says it is cooperating and has pledged funds and aid to neighbors as conditions gradually improve.
