(VIDEO) Los Angeles Warehouse Fire Rages Into SIXTH Day as Newsom Declares State of Emergency and Shelter-in-Place Orders

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.

"We believe the fire originated on the roof on Wednesday while the company’s subcontractors were servicing the solar array.”

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

Aerial footage shows the massive smoke pouring out of the warehouse as firefighters continue to fight the blaze.

More from ABC 7:

The failure to tame the blaze is reminiscent of the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025, which caused $140 billion in damages and killed at least 31 people due to the incompetence of LA's Democratic leaders.

NBC Los Angeles reported on Sunday,

It’s not funny, really, but as soon as I saw solar panels were in the mix, I chuckled.

If a solar array started this fire, they’ll have to bring out Carville to explain it away.

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.

ANOTHER warehouse fire caused by solar panels. The DemonRats get a two-fer; 1) Fire caused by their beloved solar panels, 2) ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER from extremely TOXIC air quality caused by burning solar panels.

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.

This little video from the Simpsons episode, “Marge vs the Monorail” is appropriate here.

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.

So solar panels and EVs now burst into flames...That explains global warming. These substitutes for good old fossil fuel...like natural gas and oil and coal...have certainly done away with global warming.

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.
