PACIFIC PALISADES, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — It’s been one year since the deadly Palisades Fire ignited, burning down thousands of homes.
In that time, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has faced criticism and anger from the community over her handling of the fire.
Eyewitness News political reporter Josh Haskell walked through the Palisades with Bass to discuss the resentment that remains one year later.
Bass was out of the country in Africa when the Palisades Fire erupted, destroying nearly 7,000 structures.
“The Palisades is always top of mind, and I’m not going to rest until the Palisades looks like it did before Jan. 7, 2025,” Bass said.
