A Los Angeles neighborhood was terrorized by a raging warehouse inferno. Now it’s tormented by the suffocating stench

But in Boyle Heights, the putrid scent of fermented food is a fetid constant. Even when he leaves his home in Boyle Heights, it’s waiting for him at his auto shop located directly across from the Lineage warehouse. It burned for nearly two months, more than six times longer than in Boyle Heights. “We are sympathetic that the Kennewick community faced a fire that was unique in many ways,” a Lineage spokesperson said in a statement. As of Wednesday, Lineage has removed approximately 80% of the food waste from the Boyle Heights warehouse.
