A new wildfire was reported today at 4:16 p.m. in Los Angeles County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. Currently, there is no data on the containment status of the fire and the cause has yet to be determined.

The new reported fatality was a person who died at a hospital from the Palisades Fire, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office said.

Recent wildfires not only brought lose and heartache to the residents of the Los Angeles area, they also scorched state, city and county politics.

A study by UCLA, published on Jan. 15, showed that 85% of individuals employed as household workers in Los Angeles are Latino. And, among these individuals, 47% are self-employed, making them ineligible for unemployment benefits or formal protections such as paid leave.

According to the National Weather Service, periods of moderate to heavy rain are expected through Monday afternoon and could trigger flash flooding and mudslides in fire zones.

The Eaton and Palisades fires have consumed more than 37,000 acres of homes, businesses and landmarks in Altadena and Pacific Palisades.
