This is a true statement and definitely a problem, (or an element of a much larger problem), but not sure if it's relevant to the current fires. Maybe the one in Studio City, who knows.
One danger right now that reminds me of the '92 riots is that when there is this much catastrophe going on, it offers a certain amount of cover to bad people doing bad things. The police and fire are busier than the proverbial whore on payday.
Disasters also bring out the best in people. My good friends who recently bought and reopened a beloved cafe in the Silverlake neighborhood made 600 breakfast burritos for the FD personnel fighting the Palisades fire last night. They should be eating them about now.
