National Guard arrives in L.A., curfews planned to crack down on looting in fire-ravaged areas
LA TimesA Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy stands guard in front of a home burned in the Eaton fire in Altadena. L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna announced several measures Thursday to ramp up security in areas that have been evacuated because of devastating fires in the area. “The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has officially requested the support of the California National Guard for both fires,” Luna said. “Having additional resources, having the National Guard with us,” he added, “will help send a stronger message, keep people out of the impacted areas, so we don’t continuously victimize the people who have already been victimized.” The sheriff also said the agency was working to implement a curfew that would run from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. “within the specific impacted areas around the two fire areas,” he said, referring to the Palisades fire in Pacific Palisades and the Eaton fire, which ignited in Altadena.
