Monday morning, California Governor Gavin Newsom and other Los Angeles city leaders held an event marking six months since the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires. The event was meant to acknowledge the fires and the progress towards recovery that has been made since. 

Exacerbated by a windstorm, the two fires began earlier this year on January 7th resulting in a mass evacuation. Once the fires were fully contained, over 35,000 acres had burned, killing 30 individuals and damaging more than 2,000 buildings.

Plaintiffs in the Eaton Fire lawsuits are urging a Los Angeles judge to set an expedited trial date, hoping to advance mediation talks and secure faster relief for survivors. The lawsuits accuse Southern California Edison of causing the devastating January blaze through faulty equipment. Edison’s attorneys oppose the move, arguing that the trial should wait until CAL FIRE completes its official investigation.

Pasadena and Altadena renters whose homes were covered in toxic ash during January’s wildfires are now suing local officials for allegedly failing to inspect their units and require landlords to carry out necessary cleaning.

Individual renters, along with two tenant unions, filed lawsuits Wednesday against the city of Pasadena and the L.A. County Department of Public Health. Citing previous LAist reporting, the complaints allege local officials have refused to enforce tenants’ right to a safe, habitable home.

Public health officials have warned residents that ash carried by the Eaton Fire contains levels of lead harmful to human health.

But the renters say that when they asked the city and county to intervene with landlords who refused to arrange for professional cleaning, they were told they needed to hire lawyers and pursue civil cases on their own.

A low-pressure system moving from the Bay Area toward Southern California is bringing the threat of thunderstorms, dry lightning, and elevated fire risks, particularly in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The National Weather Service warns that developing storms could spark fires and produce downburst winds. Satellite imagery indicates atmospheric instability over Los Angeles County, with conditions favorable for thunderstorms. While significant flooding isn’t expected due to limited moisture, isolated lightning and wind gusts remain concerns. Inland temperatures may rise, contributing to convection currents that could fuel storm activity into the evening across eastern L.A. County. Coastal areas will persist under a marine layer with potential drizzle and dangerous rip currents due to high waves reaching up to six feet. Southern California is expected to return to cooler, gloomier conditions midweek, typical of June Gloom.
