Los Angeles Braces for More Firestorms as Death Toll Hits 24

Live Mint  

-- Los Angeles and the rest of Southern California face a second week of fierce winds that are turning wildfires into blowtorches, putting lives at risk and destroying homes, businesses and cultural landmarks. Extreme fire conditions are forecast across 2,267 square miles around Los Angeles Monday and Tuesday as winds rise again, whipping flames with tropical-storm-strength gusts, the US Storm Prediction Center said. “We are not in the clear as of yet and we must not let our guard down,” Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said Monday at a press conference. Asked whether officials are looking at equipment owned by Edison International’s Southern California Edison utility as a possible cause of the Eaton fire, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said “the simple answer is yes, we’re looking at everything.” The utility has been asked by attorneys representing insurance companies to preserve evidence in connection with the deadly blaze.
