L.A. Wildfires: SCE Admits Its Equipment May Have Ignited Hurst Fire North Of Los Angeles


Army Corps of Engineers has officially begun its Phase 2 wildfire-debris removal at two Pasadena Unified School District campuses destroyed in the Eaton Fire.

Meanwhile, leaders of federal and local law enforcement agencies have partnered to create a joint task force to investigate and prosecute fire-related crimes — including arson, looting, burglary, fraud and illegal drones — as Los Angeles County recovers from devastating wildfires, it was announced today. A red flag warning is in place for parts of the city of Los Angeles and county, with wind gusts of up to 70 mph forecast between 4 a.m. Tuesday and noon Wednesday — strong enough to potentially cause “explosive fire growth,” according to the National Weather Service. Local TV stations broke into coverage of former President Jimmy Carter’s memorial services to cover the incident, with remote crews staging shots from the beach parking lots on PCH with a billowing black plume in the background.
