The incident comes amid heightened concerns over looting in neighborhoods affected by the fires.

Law enforcement agencies, including the LAPD, Santa Monica Police, and Airport Police Departments, along with the National Guard, have been patrolling evacuation zones nightly from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. to deter trespassing, looting, and other crimes.

Despite these efforts, at least 20 arrests for looting have been made across the Los Angeles area, further fueling fear among residents.

The wildfire crisis, described as one of the worst in California’s history, has devastated large portions of the Los Angeles region.

The Palisades Fire, which erupted on January 7, has become the most destructive of the blazes, burning 23,707 acres and destroying more than 5,000 structures in Pacific Palisades and Malibu.

As of Saturday evening, the fire was only 11% contained and had claimed five lives.

Other major fires in the region include the Eaton Fire in Pasadena, the deadliest blaze so far, accounting for 11 fatalities and scorching 14,117 acres with 15% containment.

The Kenneth Fire, which spans Los Angeles and Ventura County, is 90% contained, while the Hurst Fire in Los Angeles is 76% contained.

Together, these fires have burned through approximately 29,000 acres, destroyed 10,000 homes and other structures, and caused $57 billion in economic damage.

At least 16 people have lost their lives, and 180,000 residents have been forced to evacuate.

Adding to the crisis are reports of arson.

Authorities have arrested at least two individuals suspected of attempting to start new fires in recent days.

These incidents come as firefighters race to control the blazes ahead of a forecasted return of the Santa Ana winds, which could exacerbate the fires and threaten more neighborhoods and landmarks.

The ongoing destruction has left communities on edge, particularly in areas like Brentwood and the San Fernando Valley.

With the fires showing no signs of slowing and law enforcement stretched thin, residents remain vigilant as they brace for further challenges in the days ahead.
