LAFD admits errors before Palisades fire
An investigation revealed that the Los Angeles Fire Department made critical missteps prior to the 2025 Palisades fire, which resulted in 12 deaths and destruction of thousands of structures. The report found the department ignored warnings that the initial Lachman fire was still smoldering and lacked proper procedures to confirm fires were fully out, contributing to the fire’s escalation. The department has since accepted responsibility, implemented new post-containment protocols, and begun addressing these shortcomings. Multiple lawsuits are ongoing regarding the fire’s handling.
