Summary

California officials are investigating whether the deadly Palisades fire, which has killed 24 and destroyed thousands of homes, is linked to a smaller New Year’s Day fire.

Reports suggest fireworks may have caused the earlier blaze, with wind and dry conditions potentially rekindling it days later.

The fire began in Pacific Palisades’ brushy area, and experts warn that smoldering embers can reignite under such conditions.

Investigations into nearby fires, including the Eaton and Hurst fires, are ongoing, with containment efforts underway.

    100 things could have started it…

    Take what caused it down, pass it around, and you got 99 problems still.

    Even if a fire starting bird ain’t one.

    Each time the fires are burning, they are because of something a human did,

    That can be your opinion. It still wouldn’t be correct, but you can definitely have that as an opinion. Like how people think the Earth is flat, the moon is fake, and Elon Musk is a genius.
