A massive warehouse fire that erupted in Boyle Heights, California, on Wednesday is still burning six days later, prompting a state of emergency declaration from California Governor Gavin Newsom.
The city has also issued shelter-in-place orders and a particle pollution advisory.
The warehouse is being used as a cold-food storage facility by a company called Lineage, and the fire is believed to have originated from solar panels on the building's roof. “We are the tenant-operator of the warehouse building and lease the roof to a third-party solar company, which is responsible for operating and maintaining the array," Lineage said in a statement.

80 million pounds of food are reportedly stored in the warehouse.

If a solar array started this fire, they’ll have to bring out Carville to explain it away.
sometimes going green has consequences.
Call the Lincoln Lawyer. He is doing civil now. 80 million lbs of frozen sea food should bring something in the order of 500 million plus costs.
DemonRats are truly DUM-O-CRATS.
Corruption of the California voting system keeps these inept posers in power. Sow enough chaos and they think the people will be ripe for enemy takeover.
With a little extra solar panel cells spices!

Been burning for 6 days? Is there a water pressure issue or something?
I’m guessing the hydrants around the warehouse have no water. Call Karen Bass!
I wonder how the insurance companies rate roof solar both residential & commercial...
It seems to me that rooftop solar should be an uncovered risk.
No, they’re still counting ballots on which firefighters get to put out the blaze. They need at least 36 days to count the ballots.
That’s drugs.
“We’re going solar”
Yard signs.
Our temp here in upstate NY is 20 degrees below normal.
It's like solving the smoking problem with marijuana, the patch, gum....
The MSM are still chortling over Trump’s problems in fixing the Reflecting Pool issues but are silent about California’s inability to contain and control fires.
