A massive warehouse fire that erupted in Boyle Heights, California, on Wednesday is still burning six days later, prompting a state of emergency declaration from California Governor Gavin Newsom. 

The city has also issued shelter-in-place orders and a particle pollution advisory.

The warehouse is being used as a cold-food storage facility by a company called Lineage, and the fire is believed to have originated from solar panels on the building’s roof. “We are the tenant-operator of the warehouse building and lease the roof to a third-party solar company, which is responsible for operating and maintaining the array,” Lineage said in a statement.

“We believe the fire originated on the roof on Wednesday while the company’s subcontractors were servicing the solar array.”

80 million pounds of food are reportedly stored in the warehouse.

Aerial footage shows the massive smoke pouring out of the warehouse as firefighters continue to fight the blaze.

The failure to tame the blaze is reminiscent of the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025, which caused $140 billion in damages and killed at least 31 people due to the incompetence of LA’s Democratic leaders.

NBC Los Angeles reported on Sunday,

In a 7 p.m. update Sunday, the Los Angeles Fire Department said firefighters were making “significant progress” on the structure fire. Crews had removed parts of the wall, giving them better access to the flames inside the building — the focus of the LAFD’s next phase to extinguish the fire.

However, challenges remain due to the building’s infrastructure. The storage racks inside were keeping the roof up, and the LAFD said it was assessing for possible structural failure hazards.

Wind conditions have been spreading smoke and fine particles across the region, impacting communities miles away from the fire. Air quality readings across Los Angeles have ranged from moderate to unhealthy for sensitive groups, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District. A particle pollution advisory remained in effect until 12:30 p.m. Monday.

“I would anticipate this smoke for about two more days, possibly three, but now we’re going to extinguish the fire,” LAFD Chief Jaime Moore said on Sunday. “We’re going to do that aggressively.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on the fire when it first started last week. It is the second massive warehouse fire in Southern California this year after an arsonist previously set ablaze a 1.2 million square-foot warehouse in Ontario, California.
