The Los Angeles warehouse
that started burning Wednesday is still on fire.
A state of emergency has been declared.
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared
a state of emergency on Saturday
after the Los Angeles mayor asked for state disaster support
in the wake of an ongoing warehouse fire that continues to burn
for more than three days after it started on June 17.
Quote, California is mobilizing to support Los Angeles as firefighters
and emergency personnel continue their work to contain this fire
and protect surrounding communities.
Newsom said in a statement, the state has deployed public health
and emergency resources to the city, including 5.5 million N95 masks
and non-commercial grade air purifiers for community facilities.
This was one of the largest warehouses in the United States
and was storing food for over 10 million people,
including 85 million pounds of frozen foods.
Sounds like more inflation to me.
Quote, we are coordinating closely with our local partners,
deploying specialized expertise and pre-positioning critical supplies
so communities have the support they need both now
and throughout the recovery, Newsom said.
Caroline Thomas Jacobs, director of the California's Governor's Office
of Emergency Services, said in a statement that her agency
is working side-by-side with the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles
Emergency Management Department, Los Angeles Fire Department,
and general and regional partners to ensure they have resources,
information, and support necessary to respond to this incident.
Quote, state of emergency allows us
to further streamline coordination efforts
and leverage additional state capabilities as needed, she added.
Our focus remains on protecting communities,
supporting locally led response operations.
The state is also assisting with, quote,
enhanced air quality monitoring and technical support resources.
Newsom's office said heavy smoke
is still emanating from the fire at the warehouse.
which first responders are struggling to completely extinguish
due to the lack of visibility inside the massive cold storage facility
in Boyle Heights,
located only five miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
It turned out that this particular warehouse holds food
for millions of Americans,
along with over 85 million pounds of frozen food.
Another nightmare in California, folks.
Since one hour ago, out of ABC News, California Governor Gavin Newsom
has declared a state of emergency as crews continue to battle a fire
that started days ago at a cold storage facility in Los Angeles.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency as
crews continue to battle flare-ups from a fire that started days ago.
Officials say the massive fire ignited Wednesday afternoon
at a cold storage warehouse in Los Angeles,
sending plumes of black smoke in the air visible for miles.
Fire officials are describing the fire as very complex
and hazardous for firefighters.
No injuries have been reported
and investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
And now we can see that the warehouse fire
in Bull Heights has reignited because of the heavy winds.
That's why you're seeing the black smoke instead of the lighter
white smoke where they thought they had got most of it put out.
This is going on day number four.
Authorities don't want people to know, but this is toxic,
deadly smoke filled with ammonia emanating from all the frozen
or freeze units at the facility.
It's over 550,000 square feet.
What a complete nightmare.
Now it's drifting right into downtown.
In my opinion, just more distractions.
As Iran walked out of talks in Switzerland,
told the U.S. to go stick it,
Trump had to withdraw because his reserves,
his oil reserves were gone,
along with all the other major countries
who were coming down on him hard.
God bless the American folks.
We're going to need it.
