Emergency services are in a race against time to stop a potential biohazard fallout from a huge Los Angeles warehouse fire, with the building now threatening to collapse. Firefighters have been battling the inferno at Lineage Logistics’ 500,000 square foot facility in Boyle Heights since Wednesday afternoon, drenching it with water that has slowly eroded the building’s structural integrity. Inside, 85 million pounds of frozen bread and meat products have been decaying, prompting fears from both Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Jaime Moore of a potential biohazard fallout.
