The Palisades Fire began in the Palisades Highlands, where a week earlier, a relatively small brush fire now called the Lachman Fire was reported early New Year’s Day.⁠ ⁠ The Los Angeles City Fire Department declined to share records or information about the cause of the New Year’s fire, but officials and the sources said earlier this year ATF agents and local fire investigators were considering whether embers from the New Year’s fire could have reignited in the intense winds Jan. 7. | NBC LA

🚨 Shocking LA Times exposé: Cal Fire supervisors allegedly ordered firefighters to pack up and head back to the station despite boots-on-the-ground pleas to stay and fully extinguish smoldering hotspots in the Palisades burn area. This decision left undetected embers raging, fueling the devastating Lachman Fire reignition. Lives, homes, and trust… gone!

On This Terrible Day In History, January 7, 2025: My camera captured this view, during the moments that the Lachman Fire (apparently unmonitored after the nine-acre arson-fire near Skull Rock Trailhead was ‘suppressed’ six days earlier) suddenly re-erupted as I was driving along Venice Blvd near Loyola. During the next several long days and nights, the Palisades and Eaton fires killed 31 people and destroyed about 13,000 homes and other residential properties. | Stewart Hayes
