Investigation into Palisades Fire Reveals Potential Preventability
A new report from the LA Times suggests that the catastrophic Palisades fire in January, which resulted in 12 deaths, nearly 7,000 burned structures, and tens of billions of dollars in damages, may have been preventable.
According to the report, firefighters were ordered to abandon a smoldering burn site just days before the fire exploded. This smaller fire, which occurred on January 1st, is believed to have originated the massive January 7th blaze.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Paul Pringle co-authored the LA Times piece and discussed the findings on CNN.
