Boyle Heights warehouse fire
A cold-storage warehouse in Boyle Heights caught fire in June 2026. Smoke carried across East Los Angeles for days, shelter-in-place orders went out, and a local emergency was declared.
If that fire put you out of your home, closed your business, or left you coughing for weeks, you may have a claim against whoever was responsible for the building and how it was run.

Deadlines here are shorter than usual
This is the part worth reading even if you never call me.
Where a public entity is involved, California requires a claim to be presented first, and that window runs in months rather than years. Miss it and an otherwise good case can be over before it starts. Other claims arising from the fire have their own limits, and they are all shorter than people assume.
If it has been a while already, that is a reason to ask sooner, not a reason to decide you have left it too late.
The detailed guides are on a site of their own
I built a separate site for this fire because people living through it needed something quicker to read than a law firm's website, in both languages, with the relief centres at the top.
fire.cyrus.law has guides for smoke and ammonia exposure, businesses forced to close, and being forced out of your home.
What it costs
Nothing to talk to me. If I take the case you pay nothing unless money is recovered for you, and case costs come out of the recovery rather than out of your pocket.
Tell me what happened
Leave your name, a number and a sentence. I will call you back. Don't attach documents and don't write out confidential details here.
Sending this form doesn't make me your lawyer, and nothing protects a filing deadline until we've both signed a written agreement. If your deadline is close, call.

Tell me what happened
Ten minutes on the phone is usually enough for me to tell you whether you have a case. If you do not, I will say so on the call.
