flag A former Uber driver was charged in October 2025 for starting the Lachman Fire in January 2024, which later reignited on January 7, 2025, becoming one of Los Angeles’s most destructive wildfires. flag Federal investigators found the larger fire was a rekindling of the earlier blaze, despite firefighters' warnings about smoldering ground and orders to leave the scene. flag The LAFD’s pre-deployment plan was criticized as inadequate, with no firefighters stationed in the Palisades despite 128 being pre-deployed elsewhere. flag Deputy Chief Richard Fields admitted the plan was insufficient and regretted not extending shifts. flag Meanwhile, a volunteer fire brigade formed after the blaze has expanded rapidly, training 50 new members and planning further growth, though concerns remain about risks to untrained civilians.
