Investigation into Palisades Fire Reveals Potential Preventability
A recent report by the LA Times indicates that the devastating Palisades fire in January, which resulted in 12 fatalities, the destruction of nearly 7,000 structures, and tens of billions of dollars in damages, may have been preventable.
According to the report, firefighters were ordered to abandon a smoldering site just days before the catastrophic fire erupted. The fire is believed to have originated from a smaller fire that occurred on January 1st, eventually leading to the massive blaze on January 7th.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Paul Pringle co-authored the LA Times piece, discussing the key findings of his reporting on CNN.
Pringle's investigation sheds light on the events leading up to the inferno, highlighting the decision to leave the smoldering burn site unattended.
