Los Angeles mayor declares emergency over warehouse fire
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declared a local emergency on Saturday, June 20, over a large warehouse fire that has burned for several days. Flames swept the roof of a massive warehouse in the city’s historic Boyle Heights neighborhood near downtown on Wednesday, June 17, quickly spreading across the building's solar panels, belching thick clouds of smoke and ammonia gas that prompted a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents. As part of the emergency declaration, Bass asked the state government to expedite access to state and federal resources and other disaster relief programs. The mayor also requested that the state waive regulations that may hinder response efforts. The city of Los Angeles and L.A. county have opened locations for families seeking relief from fire-related smoke and fumes.
