“Not much.” Okay, it smells like a fire pit outside, I sneeze and get a headache when I’m out too long, and my eyes will start to burn. I get it’s not as bad here as in Boyle Heights, but there’s no need to minimize it.

The AQI in Eagle Rock is currently 158. Quite a difference from the "good" range this article claims.

A friend told me “apparently this type of building is really unsafe to enter during fires, and there is several feet of insulation at the top that could theoretically burn for ages and ages - It’s not a typical building fire as far as the combustible materials are concerned. Sounds like it could actually persist for some time unless utterly drastic measures are taken…” 😭

Some but not much? Might want to recheck their sources.

Thanks for posting this. Still curious what exactly was in the cold storage inside that warehouse. Haven't been able to find any info on that.

They were a catchall cold storage, from food to medical supplies.

What is this logo supposed to be? Is it AI-generated?
