PREVIEW: Palisades Fire Scandal: Allegations of LA Fire Department Negligence and Cover-Up Guest: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss reports on new information revealed in an amended lawsuit filed against state and city entities regarding the massive Pacific Palisades fire that started on January 1st and burned through January 2nd. The revelation, coming ten or eleven months after the incident, is that firemen on the scene saw the smoldering fire but were obliged to leave. Whistleblowers and radio transmissions confirmed that the fire department was called off the original fire and sent home despite firemen recognizing the danger: the fire was still smoldering, abundant vegetation was present, and high winds were forecast. Because firefighters drove away from the smoldering fire, it reignited on January 6th, leading to the massive conflagration that destroyed an entire neighborhood. Bliss notes that the lawsuit is expected to be a "real bloodbath" because it points to negligence by the LA Fire Department and the state of California. It remains unknown whether the mayor or governor knew about the decision to pull the fire department from the scene.
