Palisades/Topanga Fire Investigation Update



The first suspect was that known and previously convicted arsonist Devin Hilton (the homeless guy everyone sees up and down PCH painted all red, who is always setting fires in the area), but he was found, questioned, and released due to there not being any "evidence" that he set the fire.

So now they rounded up another guy they believe may be the one.

From the LAFD:

"During the course of the investigation, LAFD Arson Investigators and LAPD have aggressively tracked down any and all potential leads. We did have one individual who was detained and released. However, we now have a 2nd individual that is being questioned. The active investigation into the cause of the Palisades fire continues.; West Bureau; Council District 11; Margaret Stewart."

And yes, the LAPD and LAFD let a known arsonist, who has been busted lighting several fires before, go free to roam a fire-prone hillside.
