LOS ANGELES — One month after the Lineage Logistics warehouse fire, Los Angeles County Board Chair and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis convened a Board briefing to review recovery efforts, hold Lineage Logistics accountable, and ensure affected residents continue receiving recovery assistance.


Solis said many East Los Angeles residents are still seeking answers and support. She emphasized that the County remains committed to providing a coordinated, transparent and equitable recovery while urging Lineage Logistics to fulfill its responsibilities to impacted communities.

County departments, South Coast AQMD, Southern California Edison and public health officials updated the Board on:

Debris removal and environmental monitoring
Air quality and public health protection
Temporary housing assistance
Utility bill relief
Recovery programs for businesses and workers
Oversight of Lineage's recovery commitments

Following discussions between Los Angeles County CEO Joe Nicchitta and Lineage Logistics, the company agreed to expand eligibility for recovery assistance and improve coordination of recovery programs serving residents in unincorporated East Los Angeles.

Since the fire, Los Angeles County has distributed more than 11,500 relief items, including air purifiers, food boxes, bottled water and N95 masks to residents in East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights.

County Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis said public health teams have visited nearly 700 homes, where residents expressed concerns about lingering odors and air quality. He explained that mandatory evacuation orders are issued only when there is an immediate threat to life, and many residents preferred to remain in their homes during recovery efforts.

For residents wishing to temporarily relocate, the County partnered with Airbnb.org and 211 LA to provide temporary housing assistance.

South Coast AQMD also reported that Lineage failed to meet a July 17 directive requiring stronger odor control measures and did not respond by the deadline. The agency has referred the matter to its Governing Board for further enforcement action.

Southern California Edison announced a utility bill assistance program for eligible customers affected by the fire, while the County's Department of Economic Opportunity has visited 66 local businesses in East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights to connect employers, workers and small businesses with recovery assistance.

Residents and small businesses seeking assistance can call 211 or visit recovery.lacounty.gov/eastla for additional recovery resources.
