Man arrested in connection with starting LA fire that is now burning over 960 acres

Wildfires in California

The Kenneth Fire is just one of several fires, including the massive Palisades and Eaton Fires. The flames have reached within two miles of evacuation shelters and have destroyed celebrity neighborhoods. Strong winds continue to spread the destruction, prompting LA Mayor Karen Bass to warn, “This fire could spread rapidly due to high winds.”

Joe Rogan’s Eerie Prediction

Podcaster Joe Rogan, a former California resident, has long warned about the state’s wildfire risks, citing his personal evacuations and a chilling conversation with a firefighter: “One day, the wind will be just right, and it’ll burn through LA to the ocean.”

Insurers Retreat

Adding to the crisis, insurance companies like State Farm have pulled policies from fire-prone areas, leaving residents vulnerable.

Firefighters are making progress, but the battle against nature—and the consequences of arson—is far from over.
