@cbsla: Thick black smoke and flames erupted from a solar-paneled commercial warehouse building in Boyle Heights, prompting a massive firefighting battle and shelter-in-place order for neighboring areas. Because of the compromised panels, which he caused the fire "spreading almost like a wildfire," LAFD incident commanders decided to call in water-dropping aircraft. Because of this, crews said they were able to stop the flames from spreading into the building's interior. Los Angeles Fire Department crews responded to the 500,000-square-foot food product storage facility around 2:35 p.m., and, as of 6 p.m., they said they had stopped the fire's forward progress.
