Los Angeles firefighter Scott Pike testified about discovering red-hot coals at the Lachman fire site, suggesting a full mop-up instead of just picking up hoses. Despite his warnings, the fire reignited due to high winds, becoming the devastating Palisades fire. LAFD leaders were criticized for their after-action report, and Mayor Karen Bass ordered an independent probe. Jonathan Rinderknecht was arrested for allegedly starting the fire, and Pike expresses regret for not doing more. Testimony also points to state parks for not patrolling the burn area, raising claims of negligence.
