The warehouse fire that ignited in Boyle Heights on June 17 continues to burn, the Los Angeles Fire Department said Tuesday, though officials described crews as making “significant progress” in containing the blaze.
The fire is producing smoke that is impacting air quality across the greater Los Angeles area, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
In response to the ongoing emergency, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass each issued declarations of a state of emergency.
The Los Angeles Fire Department did not provide an estimated timeline for full containment. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
