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.

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

Which is why prior methods proved insufficient…
I dunno man, I can’t think of a simpler way to put it.
