Explosive Fire Destroys Boyle Heights Business

BOYLE HEIGHTS - Relentless and well coordinated defensive firefighting operations by more than 120 members of the Los Angeles Fire Department, helped bring massive flames under control without injury in just 90 minutes early November 4, 2022, when fire engulfed a 17,115 square foot one-story building that housed a vast supply of smoking materials, including a huge volume of tobacco and butane canisters, the latter of which led to a prolonged volley of small explosions that rained debris at the peak of the fire.
