US EditionNewsom Orders Flags at Half-Staff for Day of Remembrance for LA Fires
- On Jan. 7, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation declaring Jan. 7 a day of remembrance for the Los Angeles fires and ordered flags at all state buildings to be flown at half-staff.
- The fires began on Jan. 7, 2025, driven by extreme Santa Ana winds, burned an area roughly three times the size of Manhattan, displaced thousands, and were fully contained on Jan. 31, 2025.
- A July 15 video from Spencer Pratt, shared with his more than 2 million followers, received over 286,000 views and spread claims about SB 549, while AI-generated descriptions and other influencers amplified misreads.
- California state Sen. Ben Allen paused SB 549 on July 16 after his office received hundreds of calls and emails, saying `I have no plans to move SB 549 forward`, stalling the central recovery hub.
- Experts note that mistrust and reporting gaps complicated recovery as the Los Angeles Times found the Los Angeles Fire Department revised key reports, while Gov. Gavin Newsom linked fires to hotter temperatures and prolonged drought.
