A shocking analysis has found that the devastating Palisades Fire in Los Angeles may have been started by the rekindling of a New Year's Eve blaze.
Evidence reviewed by The Washington Post suggests that the Palisades inferno was ignited in the same spot where fire crews put out flames a week before - and residents claim their response the second time was much slower.
The Palisades Fire - the largest of the three blazes ripping through Los Angeles -ignited on January 7 and has scorched 23,713 acres and is only 13 per cent contained as of Sunday.
A week before that blaze broke out, firefighters were called to the Pacific Palisades shortly after midnight on New Year's Day to a small brush fire residents claim was started by fireworks.
The blaze, called the Lachman Fire, was held at eight acres and reported contained at 4:46 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD).
Satellite imagery obtained by the Post identified a burn scar of the New Year's Eve fire. Additional imagery taken on Tuesday when the Palisades Fire broke out indicates that the origin of the smoke overlapped with the burn scar.
The bombshell evidence comes as the death toll rose to 24 and locals were warned to brace for 'life-threatening' winds which could spur on the fires.
'The general duration of this is not looking good,' meteorologist Rose Schoenfield warned.
The weather is expected to contribute to another stint of dangerous and potentially extreme fire conditions which could exacerbate the fires already burning and cause more new ones to pop up.
Los Angeles City Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said: 'It's very important that the community understands that these wind events are coming.'
These conditions have prompted a red flag warning until 6pm Wednesday.

What a da.
Next thing we know, they will be telling us they are going to reanimate Yasser Arafat so he can donate his AIDS contaminated blood to save the victims of the fire like he did after the media publicized Palestinians dancing in the streets and handing out sweets to celebrate the success of the 9/11 attacks.
This is progress. Kooks were blaming the fires in HI on Directed Energy Weapons.
Because all fingers point back at the politicians in Ca if they blame illegals or terrorists that were allowed to sashay across our borders.
And the ghettopotomous fireman who said that an overweight victim in a fire who expected her fat a$$ to rescue him is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“ Yeah, they find the dude with a flame thrower, 5 phones and a UN-funded card in the act (and he wasn’t the only one)—and now it was supposed to be embers from a fire put out 7 days earlier?”

It’s amazing how the ‘SQUIRREL!, SQUIRREL!, SQUIRREL!’ spotters pop up precisely when convenient distractions are needed.
Yep.
Who,gives a s#$+! There was no water in the reservoir and the hydrants were dry.
Right. Cancelled to stop the spotlight on it.
‘I’ve seen the devastation I’ve caused first hand…’. There, fixed it.
Deflecting from purpose set, ala Maui.
“Yeah, they find the dude with a flame thrower”
Propane torch.
Ok. I’ll bite
[tin hat on].
Arsonist firefighter. Why not? He’d have known of the prior fire and how they track fire origins.
Mebbe the fire has exposed the Zodiac killer of firebugs.

If the Pacific Palisades fire started January 1, it could impact property tax assessments if they get made based on that date.
Same effect.
And Trump wants to make overtime tax free.
Some of those overtime amounts seem impracticably absurd to me.
