The Palisades fire burning in the area of the same name in the Los Angeles region could have started because of fireworks on New Year's Eve, the Washington Post writes.
According to the newspaper, the fire that broke out in the Pacific Palisades region on the night of January 1 was extinguished in about four hours, and after it was contained, the Los Angeles County Fire Department announced that it would take measures to prevent a re-ignition.
As the release points out, due to staff shortages and the need to respond to other incidents, it is often difficult for firefighters to track whether an extinguished fire has rekindled.
