Reality TV star Spencer Pratt has publicly criticized Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for her handling of a massive warehouse fire in Boyle Heights. The fire, which has been burning for days, has led to poor air quality and health hazards in the area.
Bass declared a local emergency to secure citywide resources on June 20, but Pratt argues that she was not taking the situation seriously, suggesting that she was out of town when the fire broke out.
The warehouse fire, which has been difficult to suppress due to its massive inventory of rotting food products and other hazardous materials, has led to a state of emergency being declared in Los Angeles County.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced a state of emergency for the county, and state agencies are working closely with the Los Angeles Fire Department to mitigate the health hazards posed by the smoke.
