Episode Details

Students in Boyle Heights are back in class, but the lingering stench from the Lineage Logistics warehouse fire still haunts families — one mom’s daughter fell ill just from the smell, and she herself ended up hospitalized. Air quality experts are forcing Lineage to haul out millions of pounds of food weekly and cover loading docks to curb emissions. Meanwhile, lawmakers push AB 817, a bill that would require community approval before rebuilding industrial sites like this — aiming for accountability and prevention. Parents remain frustrated, demanding kids stay out until the air is truly safe, as this crisis underscores how environmental harm can disrupt daily life — especially for children — and why communities deserve a seat at the table when it comes to their own neighborhoods.
