Investigation into Palisades Fire Reveals Potential Preventability
A recent investigative report by the LA Times indicates that the devastating Palisades fire in January, which resulted in 12 fatalities, nearly 7,000 destroyed structures, and tens of billions of dollars in damages, may have been preventable.
According to the report, firefighters were instructed to abandon a smoldering burn site just days before the catastrophic fire erupted. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Pringle, co-author of the LA Times piece, discussed the findings on CNN with Elex Michaelson.
The massive January 7th blaze is believed to have originated from a smaller fire that occurred on January 1st.
Key findings from the report suggest a potential link between the smaller fire and the larger inferno.
