Show new videos how possible fireworks could be behind destructive palisade fire

Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles (KABC) – Five months after the fire of the Palisad, questions remain how it started. Newly published videos show how possible a fireworks can be behind the destructive fire.

The videos from UC San Diego cameras were first received by the San Francisco Chronicle. Some fire investigators believe that it is a clear video evidence that a New Year's fire was probably lit in one of the most destructive fires in the history of California.

“I think it's a valid thing to call it a recindle,” said Terry Taylor, a retired Wildland fire investigator.

Taylor examined the two videos of the San Francisco Chronicle side by side.

A nightly video was recorded on New Year's Day around midnight. You see a flash on the floor, and then a fire breaks out near the tip of a hill.

The small brush fire, which the Lachman fire described, triggered after the neighbors said they had heard of fireworks.

“We were in the neighborhood on the morning of the New Year and heard some fireworks around us,” said Eric Robertson, a resident of the Pacific Palisades.

The same UC San Diego camera recorded a second video on Tuesday, January 7th, at 10:30 a.m. and showed the first flames that exploded in the fire of the Palisades.

When you watch them next to each other, you can see how the smoke rises in the apparently the same area.

Some experts like Taylor believe that the videos support the theory that the Palisades Fire was triggered by an even sleepy hot bag from the New Year's fire.

“It is certainly a good assumption,” said Taylor.

What triggered the fatal and devastating palisade fire? Some residents believe that the fire started almost a week earlier and then sparked again.

The theory is nothing new.

Just a few days after the LA fires, 7 reported investigations on satellite images from side by side, which show the incineration narbs on January 1, and the beginning of what the giant palisades would fire six days later.

“Is there a connection? 100% there is a connection,” said Jeremy Wineberg, resident of Pacific Palisades. “If you are exactly in the same” X “brand and look in the same direction, you will see the same cloud of smoke in exactly the same place.”

Both fires are still being examined so that the question of “The fire brigade of Los Angeles missed a hotspot?” Remains.

Ronnie Villanueva, the deputy fire chief, said on 7 on her side that he did not want “quarterback on Monday morning” because he was not a boss when one of the two fire was triggered.

In a call with reporter Kevin Ozebek, he said he had never received a briefing that connects the two fires.

The ATF also examines and the agency has examined 7 on its page that no final conclusions were drawn.
