Was the Recent Series of Freeway Fires in Los Angeles Arson?

Investigators are working diligently to determine if the recent series of freeway fires in Los Angeles were intentionally set. The first fire occurred on the 10 Freeway, causing a major portion of it to be indefinitely closed. Just days later, another fire broke out under the 105 and 110 freeways in South Los Angeles.

According to reports, the fire under the 105 and 110 freeways appeared to have started from an encampment and spread to nearby vegetation. Thankfully, this fire had less fuel and easier access for firefighters, allowing them to quickly contain it.

The investigation into the fires is still ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information or video footage to come forward. Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for Los Angeles County due to the closure of the 10 Freeway, recognizing its significance to the local economy and people's daily lives.

While it is too early to determine whether these fires were acts of arson, the state fire marshal's office is actively sifting through the rubble for evidence. As investigators continue their work, the community remains on high alert, hoping for answers and a resolution to these destructive fires.
