Q: Would foam used in airplane fires be a better option for extinguishing the Lineage fire? If so, why aren’t they using it? – Robert G., Long Beach, andJames B., Fontana
ABC7: According to LAFD, the foam used at the airport is designed for flammable liquid fires. In this case, that is not the situation.
The challenge is not about smothering the fire, but rather getting water approximately 350 feet into the structure.

Firefighters are also facing additional difficulties due to interior racks that are not removable and extend the full height of the building.
At this time, the cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
Q: Is it possible to have food poisoning-like symptoms from all of the rotting food particles in the air? – Bianca P., Los Angeles
ABC7: We asked a pulmonologist, and he said no, that would be very unlikely. You would have to actually ingest the rotting food to have food poisoning.
