A chilling crime scene photo may mark the exact spot where the devastating Palisades Fire that has destroyed a swathe of Los Angeles started.
'There’s been no definitive determination that it is arson at this point,' LAPD Asst. Chief Dominic Choi told the outlet. 'But we are looking at every angle.' A Pacific Palisades resident surveys the damage to his neighborhood after it was devastated by fires over the past week Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives descended on the Temescal Ridge trail on Monday to investigate it as a potential cause of the Palisades Fire.
'However, it is way too early to speculate on the cause and origin. We want to give accurate answers, so we need to have time to do a thorough investigation.' Don Griffin, who shared images of both fires near his home showing them with essentially the same start point, told the SF Chronicle that he has repeatedly heard of teens setting off fireworks and flares in 'fire danger areas.'Images shared with the outlet show teens setting off large stacks of fireworks has been an issue for some time, including a huge explosion at the Palisades Recreation Center in February.
