LA Declares Emergency Over Warehouse Fire

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declared a local emergency on Saturday as a massive warehouse fire in Boyle Heights continued to burn for a fifth day, spewing toxic smoke.

Governor Gavin Newsom also declared a state of emergency, mobilizing resources to contain the blaze that started Wednesday.

The fire at a cold-storage facility has been releasing ammonia gas, prompting health warnings across the LA metropolitan area.

Firefighters are still struggling to control the flames, and officials are monitoring potential public health risks from the smoke.
