The King Fire ignited around 70 miles northwest of Los Angeles on Thursday morning and quickly grew to nearly 500 acres.
Firefighter/Paramedic Jerry W. Guzman, a 23-year member of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, died Friday.
Independent investigators who sifted through the ruins of Altadena, Pacific Palisades and other neighborhoods razed by the LA fires concluded that had the Zone Zero regulations been in place as the law required, they would have curtailed the destruction that resulted in the loss of some 16,000 homes and 31 lives.
