[MEDIA ADVISORY] BOYLE HEIGHTS | PALOS FIRE Structure Fire; INC#1019; 07:00PM; 1400 S Los Palos St; https://bit.ly/3YE3qNY; Boyle Heights; JUNE 23 UPDATE: Operations continue today at the Palos Fire in Boyle Heights as firefighters remain engaged in complex suppression efforts within the damaged building. Smoke conditions have improved significantly, and the surrounding community should notice better air quality as firefighting operations continue. The building's layout, combined with large amounts of foam insulation and structural damage, continues to create unique challenges and limits firefighters' ability to safely work inside the structure. Crews are working alongside local, state, and out-of-state partners, using specialized heavy equipment and high-capacity water streams from the exterior to safely access and extinguish remaining hot spots. Cold storage facilities like this have historically been among the most challenging fires to fight. While crews continue to make steady progress, the safety of all personnel remains the top priority. Although significant progress has been made, crews expect operations to continue as they safely extinguish remaining pockets of fire within the structure. We appreciate the continued patience and support of the Boyle Heights community as operations remain active.; FS 25; Batt 1; Central Bureau; Council District 14; CH7; 14 18; Jamie Stewart

Update [UPDATE] June 22 2026 Structure Fire; INC#1019; 08:00PM; 1400 S Los Palos St; https://bit.ly/3SDq4oA; Boyle Heights; Click link for more details: Firefighters continue to make progress on the Palos Fire. Smoke conditions have improved since yesterday and are expected to continue improving as operations move forward. LAFD is working with allied agencies, contractors, and industry experts while utilizing specialized tools and tactics used at large industrial and oil rig fires. Heavy equipment operators are using long-reach excavators and dozers to safely remove debris, expose hidden hot spots, and improve access for suppression efforts. For firefighter safety, crews remain out of the cold storage areas due to unstable storage racks, a compromised roof, and products that could shift or fall. Heavy equipment is being used whenever possible to reduce risk while continuing extinguishment operations. Residents may still see smoke as debris is removed and concealed fire areas are exposed. The LAFD has received multiple inquiries on air quality resulting from the smoke. During the ongoing firefighting efforts, we are seeing smoke impacts throughout the region. Those areas change based on wind and weather and the amount of smoke generated from the incident. A smoke advisory is currently in effect and South Coast AQMD will continue to monitor the smoke plume, weather and air quality conditions and will extend their advisory as needed. South Coast AQMD has been monitoring the air quality since early in the incident. South Coast AQMD monitors are collecting particulate matter (PM2.5 & PM10), ozone (smog), carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Mobile monitoring for Ammonia, Hydrogen Fluoride, and toxic metals (e.g., lead, chromium, arsenic, etc.) was performed on Wednesday and Thursday multiple times near the structure and in the adjacent neighborhood and no significant levels were observed. South Coast AQMD has deployed additional Particulate matter (PM2.5) monitors at Eastman Avenue Elementary and Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School and is feeding that data into their air quality map to provide near real-time localized information. This is in addition to our ongoing air monitoring data from our regionally placed air monitors and hundreds of local sensors. South Coast AQMD is providing technical oversight of additional community monitoring, being conducted by a private contractor. (Onterris) The EPA is supporting the Los Angeles Fire Department, the lead for this incident, in performing ongoing air monitoring and sampling. EPA continues to work in close coordination with state and local partners throughout the response. The EPA and LA County Health HazMat are currently on scene monitoring the perimeter of the building fire for air toxics. The data and air quality map can be found at www.aqmd.gov. Residents are encouraged to use the Air Quality map to help make decisions about the type of precautions they should take. Air Quality may change quickly based on conditions. You may smell smoke even if the AQI does not show elevated PM2.5 levels yet. Given the elevated levels of PM2.5 and significant smoke impacts, if you smell smoke, please take precautions. Run an air purifier or air conditioning with a high efficiency filter if available; avoid using a whole house fan or swamp cooler as they can bring polluted air indoors. If you see or smell smoke, we advise residents to remain indoors with doors and windows closed. Consider wearing a well-fitting N95 mask. Note, this is not a shelter in place order. If you have to be outside, minimize heavy activity. Information on the AQI scale and what associated health effects might be of concern to diverse individuals within a population, and recommend precautions at each level can be found at: https://www.aqmd.gov/home/air-quality; FS 25; Batt 1; Central Bureau; Council District 14; CH7; 14 18; Jamie Stewart
