The media reported a major fire in a commercial building in Los Angeles.
In Southern El Monte, a large fire occurred at a metal processing plant, accompanied by powerful explosions. This was reported on January 29 by ABC News channel.
"A large fire broke out at a metal recycling plant in Southern El Monte on Wednesday, creating a huge column of smoke visible for miles across the San Gabriel Valley," the publication said.
It is noted that residents and employees were urged to observe self-isolation and not open windows and doors, as there are two large warehouses filled with recycled metal and propane cylinders at the burning enterprise. Experts are currently checking the quality of the air and water runoff.
According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the building was most likely completely destroyed due to the collapse of the roof.
