Wildfire Updates
As wildfires continue to impact our communities, LAist, PBS SoCal, KCRW, and CalMatters have come together to deliver free, reliable local news and updates. Daily to start. Less frequent as conditions improve.
Wildfire Updates is a new newsletter from LAist, PBS SoCal, KCRW and CalMatters that helps Southern Californians make sense of our catastrophic wildfires.
LAist’s Wildfire Coverage
-
SoCal Edison says it will announce its compensation program sometime this fall. -
The release comes the same day federal prosecutors charged a man in connection with starting an earlier blaze that became the Palisades Fire. -
Fires can smolder underground for months. "It really is more common than I think people realize,” a fire scientist says. “It just doesn’t usually reignite another fire." -
The Palisades Fire erupted on Jan. 7 and went on to kill 12 people and destroy more than 6,800 homes and buildings. -
All disasters are chaotic, but an LAist review of reports produced after two wildfire incidents found similar shortcomings and similar recommendations about how to fix them. -
More than half of sales through September have been to corporate developers. Grassroots community efforts continue to work to combat the trend.
