The Kardashians Are Furious After Learning the Alleged Origin of the California Woolsey Fire

As firefighters continue to work to contain the Woolsey Fire currently raging in Southern California, the Kardashians, whose homes were threatened by the fire, are outraged after learning the alleged origin, which is still under investigation.

Last night, Kim Kardashian tweeted that she was “shocked & furious to learn smoke from the #WoolseyFire started at former nuclear testing site Santa Susana Field Lab & is potentially radioactive.”

The cause of the fire isn’t known yet, but it did break out near the location of a previous partial nuclear meltdown at a former rocket engine test and nuclear research facility called the Santa Susana Field Lab. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health released its findings after testing air samples using radiation detection devices and said there is “no discernible level of radiation in the tested area.”

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control also said that “previously handled radioactive and hazardous materials were not affected by the fire.”

However, activists—and Kim and Kourtney Kardashian—want the field lab, which is 2o miles away from Kourtney’s home, to be cleaned up and for California Governor Gavin Newsom “to do something” because some of the contaminated buildings are still standing.

Kim and Kourtney are currently asking people to sign a petition that’s framed around a 4-year-old girl who grew up near the lab and now has cancer after allegedly being exposed to contamination from the site.

The Woolsey Fire is currently 52 percent contained, but it has burned 98,362 acres and resulted in 3 deaths.
