- State will then hire contractors to remove the debris and contaminated soil. Will take some months.

All true. Saw a woman in Altadena happy to find one blue tile from her daughter's bathroom. Was about all that was recognizable.
Saw reporting from Altadena last night where a 1960 Thunderbird convertible was sitting with no apparent damage, surrounded by fully burned-down homes. Randomness.
Also: the media and some pols are promoting a lot of arrests for "looting," but the facts are of 4 sheriffs arrests in the Eaton area, one was a potential looter, two curfew violators; one DUI. LAPD reported the fake firefighter, a drone operator and curfew violators. I think there were two with burglary tools and three "shoplifters." But claiming 30+ 'looter arrests' plays better in the media...
