Spencer Pratt Rips Karen Bass Over Handling Of Boyle Heights Warehouse Fire Karen Was Sipping Cocktails In Chicago

.

In one of her latest posts, Bass wrote on X, “We are closely monitoring the fire in Boyle Heights. As firefighting efforts continue, smoke and poor air quality may impact parts of Los Angeles. Out of an abundance of caution, please take steps to protect yourself and your family.”

Pratt shared Bass’ post, writing, “Karen was sipping cocktails in Chicago when the Boyle Heights Fire erupted, just as she was sipping cocktails in Ghana when our Palisades Fire erupted. I warned you all...what happened to us will happen to all of LA. That smoke choking out LA is full of lead. Don't breathe it!”

“This same warehouse had a solar panel fire 2 years ago. After that, not only did Karen Basura do nothing, but she slashed the LAFD budget and now they can't stop it, and it's spewing out heavy metals into the lungs of Boyle Heights folks for a week straight. Nice job, Karen!” Pratt wrote in another post.

Smoke still blankets parts of Los Angeles County as firefighters battle the fire in Boyle Heights. Meanwhile, local and state entities are offering resources to help those who were impacted by the blaze, NBC Los Angeles reported.

State agencies, including the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), are coordinating closely with the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) to mitigate the health hazards the smoke is posing, the governor’s office said.

The fire ignited last week, but it has been stubborn and difficult to suppress due to the building’s massive inventory, estimated at 85 million pounds of rotting food products, as well as a rooftop solar array and dangerous lithium-ion batteries. These factors, plus compromised ammonia lines used for industrial refrigeration, may have worsened the situation.

Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom on Saturday officially announced a state of emergency for Los Angeles County amid an ongoing battle against the blaze.
