Newsom Declares State of Emergency Over Boyle Heights Commercial Fire
California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in response to a multi-day fire at a cold-food storage facility in Los Angeles’ Boyle Heights neighborhood. This declaration comes after Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also issued an emergency order, citing concerns about the deteriorating food products and potential biohazard risks from the blaze. State resources are being mobilized to support local agencies, including the provision of essential supplies like N95 masks and air purifiers, as firefighters continue their efforts to contain the stubborn fire and address its impact on air quality and the surrounding community.
