NBC News’ Jacob Soboroff Sets Deal With HarperCollins to Chronicle Los Angeles’ Devastating Blazes in ‘Firestorm’


NBC News' Jacob Soboroff has pacted with HarperCollins to write 'Firestorm,' a book examining the devastating blazes in Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

Jacob Soboroff, a national and political correspondent for NBC News, has set a deal with HarperCollins to write a book examining the wildfires that devastated his hometown of Pacific Palisades as well as Altadena in January. “Having worked with Jacob on his first book, ‘Separated,’ I know that every page of ‘Firestorm’ will evidence his blend of dogged reporting, open-hearted attunement to human stories, and a wide-angle understanding of the complex regional, national and global implications of the L.A. fires.” Soboroff intends to establish a meticulous timeline of what happened and to capture the experiences of survivors, first responders and myriad others whose lives were up-ended by the blazes that left more than 20 people dead and more than 18,000 homes and buildings destroyed.
