L.A. officials fear more fires as crews prepare for extreme winds

Live Mint  

A new blaze sparked up in Southern California and nearly 13 million people were under critical or extreme fire warnings, underlining the task still facing fire crews and emergency responders in the weeklong fight against rampant wildfires. “We are not in the clear as of yet," Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley said. Dozens of water and firetrucks were positioned in the Riviera neighborhood, east of the Pacific Palisades, over concerns the violent winds could fan the Palisades fire toward Brentwood and Bel-Air. The coming windstorm is expected to hit a swath of the region, including Ventura County, the San Fernando Valley and part of Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley, according to the weather service. At least two lawsuits have been filed in Los Angeles state court by residents and business owners who blame Southern California Edison for starting and failing to prevent the Eaton fire.
