LOS ANGELES - Mayor Karen Bass today issued the following statement after federal law enforcement agencies announced an arrest in connection to the Palisades Fire.
"More than 9 months ago, our city faced one of the most devastating periods our region had ever seen. Lives were tragically lost. Thousands of homes were destroyed. Our heroic firefighters fought the blaze valiantly with no rest. Each day that families are displaced is a day too long and as we are working tirelessly to bring Angelenos home, we are also working towards closure and towards justice - and today is a step forward in that process.
"I want to thank the federal Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for their work, and the leadership of Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Fire Department for their efforts, both of which were part of a multi-jurisdictional task force that led to this arrest. Now that this phase of the investigation has concluded, the City will release the LAFD after action report shortly."
