Episode Details

A fierce blaze erupted Friday evening at a Boyle Heights cold-storage facility, sending plumes of black and white smoke into the sky as firefighters battled flames inside a freezer container. Triggered by a wind shift, the fire reignited after initially spreading across solar panels Wednesday, causing an ammonia leak and forcing shelter-in-place orders. Residents are urged to stay indoors, keep pets inside, and wear masks if outside. The facility, which stores frozen food—not hazardous materials—says the fire likely began during solar panel testing. No injuries reported; firefighters are tackling the blaze from the outside in a prolonged operation, with a smoke advisory still active.
