Two people were arrested for arson in separate incidents just outside the fire zone on Wednesday, according to the LAPD. In one incident, a citizen extinguished a fire in a tree and detained an arson suspect, police said. That suspect admitted to starting the fire because he "liked the smell of burning leaves," police said.

The National Weather Service issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation warning Monday, says winds could reach up to 100 mph.

A second day of windy and dry conditions is in store for Southern California. Winds have picked up and are expected to continue through Tuesday morning, raising the risk of new wildfires sparking.

A new fire broke out last night in Ventura County, while two major fires in LA County are still at less than 50 percent containment after a week of burning.

Public Works Director Mark Pestrella discusses how crews have begun removing toxins, cleaning up damage and replacing basic utilities in fire-damaged areas in California.

Most residents of middle-class Altadena could get fire insurance, but that is likely to change as residents rebuild and face price hikes.

Windy and dry conditions have returned to Southern California, raising the risk of new wildfires sparking as firefighters continue to battle two major blazes in the Los Angeles area that started in similar weather nearly two weeks ago.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing, and residents forced to evacuate from the fires are still "probably at least a week out" from returning home, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said. Cal Fire said teams are in the fire zones analyzing the burn areas to determine places of concern.

After a report from The Times, officials have called for an external review into delayed evacuation alerts in western Altadena, during the Eaton fire.

All 17 people who died in the Eaton fire lived in an area where evacuation orders came hours later than others, even as homes nearby were already burning. Some people never received warnings at all.

When the Eaton Fire blazed through Altadena earlier this month it took more than homes and memories — it devastated a city that has long been a haven for Black families.
