My office has been working around the clock to support residents impacted by the Boyle Heights warehouse fire since the incident began.

On Friday, during the Juneteenth holiday, my staff was in the field throughout the Union Pacific community of East Los Angeles distributing masks, providing health and safety information, and speaking directly with residents about their concerns and immediate needs. It was through those conversations that we heard firsthand the urgent need for a place where residents could find relief from smoke and poor air quality. In response, I directed County emergency personnel to open a smoke respite shelter at City Terrace Park that same night, which became operational at 10 p.m.

On Saturday, my staff continued canvassing throughout the day and into the evening, delivering air purifiers to residents in the Union Pacific area, including individuals with respiratory illnesses and other health conditions that place them at greater risk from smoke exposure. I also had staff stationed at our East Los Angeles Field Office answering calls and helping connect residents with available resources. Today, staff is once again in the field delivering air purifiers and conducting direct outreach to impacted households.

While there may be times when phones are not answered immediately because staff are actively responding on the ground, every voicemail is being reviewed. Our team is compiling addresses and contact information and prioritizing residents with the greatest need for air purifiers, particularly given our limited supply.

I welcome Governor Gavin Newsom’s proclamation of a State of Emergency in response to the warehouse fire impacting Boyle Heights, unincorporated East Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

Earlier today, in coordination with the City of Los Angeles, I declared a local emergency for Los Angeles County to help accelerate our response and ensure every available resource is deployed to protect residents, workers, and first responders. Governor Newsom’s action strengthens those efforts by unlocking additional state resources, personnel, and emergency support at a critical time.

I am grateful to the Governor and our state partners for their swift action and continued collaboration. As firefighters continue working around the clock to contain this fire, Los Angeles County remains committed to coordinating closely with city, state, and regional agencies to safeguard public health, support impacted businesses and workers, and ensure affected communities receive the assistance they need throughout response and recovery efforts.

The health, safety, and well-being of our residents will continue to guide every step of our response.
