Mayor Marianne Riggins Statement on Palisades Fire Arrest
My heart is heavy today as we learned that a suspect has been arrested in connection with the devastating Palisades Fire.
I want to thank the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the U.S. Attorney's Office, and all the investigators who worked tirelessly to seek justice. Their dedication to uncovering the truth honors everyone who was affected by this tragedy.
Learning that the fire may have been intentionally set adds another layer of pain to the profound losses our City has already endured. While this arrest brings some accountability, it does not undo the overwhelming destruction or the heartbreak it caused our community.
As we take a moment to acknowledge this difficult news, Malibu remains committed to getting families back into their homes. Supporting you through every step of recovery is our highest priority. Together, we are Malibu Strong.
