The Lineage Logistics (Boyle Heights) warehouse fire is out. The questions are not.
For 8 days, the Lineage cold storage facility burned, pushing smoke across the Eastside and a shelter-in-place order into the surrounding neighborhoods. Now that the flames are down, here is what every resident and business owner should understand about what was actually in that smoke, what the air readings did and did not capture, and who was involved.
Swipe through for the timeline, the science on the particles and the ammonia, the companies now disputing the cause, and the symptoms worth watching.
If the fire reached you, it may be worth keeping a record of:
- Medical visits or symptoms
- Missed work, relocation, or hotel costs
- Spoiled food, cleanup, and other out-of-pocket expenses
- Business interruption, if you sat inside an evacuation zone
- Photos of soot, ash, or damage at your home or business
