A new wildfire was reported today at 9:20 a.m. in Los Angeles County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. At this time, the containment status is unknown and the cause of the fire remains undetermined.

The County of Los Angeles and City of Pasadena, along with other public entities, filed lawsuits against Edison International and its subsidiary Southern California Edison on Wednesday, alleging their role in igniting one of California's worst wildfires.

California’s congressional delegation urged Congress to approve federal funding to support recovery efforts after the Los Angeles County wildfires devastated communities across the Southern portion of the state.

Fire investigators have not found Edison responsible for the Eaton Fire — but mounting lawsuits heighten concerns about its potential liability for the deadliest and most destructive blaze since the state created a fund to prevent wildfires from bankrupting utilities.

As Los Angeles looks to recover from historic wildfires, previously unsheltered and chronically homeless people are facing even greater instability.

In a show of solidarity, every member of California’s congressional delegation, regardless of party affiliation, signed onto a letter on Friday, March 7, urging senior congressional leaders to support additional federal disaster aid for the victims of the January wildfires in Los Angeles County.

A new bipartisan letter makes no mention of the conditions President Donald Trump and allies have repeatedly pushed in exchange for the funding.

California’s colossal congressional delegation is pressing Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress for wildfire recovery aid.
