Did CA Park Official Limit Firefighting Efforts to Contain Palisades Blaze to Protect Native Plants?
23rd November 2025
We are rapidly approaching the first anniversary of the Los Angeles area wildfires that destroyed Pacific Palisades and Altadena.
As I reported recently, it appears that three-quarters of Pacific Palisades and two-thirds of Altadena residents remain in temporary housing. Court cases for compensation and identifying the causes and contributing factors are also continuing.
Now, attorneys for Palisades fire victims are moving to question Los Angeles firefighters under oath to explore claims that a California State Parks official limited how the department responded to an earlier blaze, which later reignited into the catastrophic firestorm that destroyed thousands of homes. This is in response to accusations that the official was concerned about…”native plant species“.
