Prosecutors seek to prove he started the blaze on January 1, 2025, while the defense argues insufficient evidence and claims first responders missed early signs. As residents battle insurance claims and slow rebuilding—only a fraction of homes are cleared for occupancy—the fire’s legacy lingers, shaping local politics and business recovery. With Mayor Bass’s campaign spotlighting recovery and a fire survivor running for office, the community grapples with both accountability and the urgent need for systemic change to prevent future disasters.
