More than 50,000 people under evacuation orders or notice for fire north of Los Angeles

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

CASTAIC, California, USA — Nearly 20,000 people were ordered to evacuate Wednesday as a massive wildfire moved rapidly and tore through the rugged mountains north of Los Angeles, while arid Southern California endured another round of dangerous winds and two other large fires continued to burn. The Hughes Fire broke out in the morning and within hours burned about 8 square miles (21 square kilometers) of trees and brush, generating a huge plume of dark smoke near the Castaic Lake area, a popular recreation area located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires that are still burning after three weeks. A 30-mile (48-kilometer) stretch of Interstate 5, a major north-south thoroughfare, was closed as flames swept across hills and into steep canyons. Crews on the ground and in air tankers tried to prevent the wind-driven fire from crossing the highway and heading toward Castaic, where most of the 19,000 residents were ordered to evacuate. Another 15,000 residents in the area were warned to be prepared to leave at any time, according to the Los Angeles County Police Department. Kayla Amara drove to the Stonegate neighborhood in Castaic to pick up items from the house of a friend who had left in a hurry to pick up her daughter from preschool. While Amara was packing up the car, she learned that the fire had grown in size and decided to douse the property with water. “Other people are also spraying their houses with water. I hope there is a house to return to,” Amara said as police patrols passed through the streets and flames engulfed trees on a hill in the distance. Amara, a nurse who lives in nearby Valencia, said she has been nervous for weeks as large fires devastated Southern California. “It’s been stressful with those other fires, but now that this one is close to home it’s just super stressful,” he said. To the south of the state, officials in Los Angeles began preparing for possible rain even as some residents were cleared to return to the charred areas of Pacific Palisades and Altadena. The windy weather was forecast to continue through Thursday and there was a chance of rain starting Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. “Rain is forecast and the threat of mud and debris flows in our fire-impacted communities is real,” Supervisor Kathryn Barger said during a news conference Wednesday morning. Fire crews filled sandbags for communities while county workers installed barriers and cleaned drainage pipes and basins. Red flag alerts for critical fire risk were extended until 8 p.m. Thursday in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Authorities remained concerned that the two large fires, the Palisades and Eaton fires, could break their containment lines as firefighters continue to monitor critical locations. For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass warned that the winds could blow ash and advised Angelenos to visit the city’s website to learn how to protect themselves from toxic air during the new Santa Ana wind event. Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer warned that the ash could contain heavy metals, arsenic and other harmful materials. “Even brief exposure can cause skin irritation and lead to more serious problems,” Ferrer said Wednesday, asking people to wear protective gear while cleaning. Low humidity, extremely dry vegetation and high winds occurred as firefighters continued to battle the Eaton and Palisades fires, which have killed at least 28 people and destroyed more than 14,000 structures since they began on January 7. Containment of the Palisades Fire was 68%, and that of the Eaton Fire was 91%. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Wednesday that his department continues to investigate 22 active missing person reports in both fire zones. All of the people reported missing are adults, he added. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is investigating the causes of the fires but has not released any findings. Several people who lost their homes in the Eaton fire have filed lawsuits, alleging that utility company Southern California Edison’s equipment started the fire. A judge overseeing one of the lawsuits on Tuesday ordered the company to produce data from circuits in the area where the fire started.

Firefighters struggle to control large fire north of Los Angeles

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

CASTAIC, California, USA — Firefighters were trying to stay ahead of a huge, fast-moving wildfire that swept through rugged mountains north of Los Angeles and left more than 50,000 people under evacuation orders or warnings. The Hughes Fire began late Wednesday morning and in less than a day had burned nearly 16 square miles (41 square kilometers) of trees and brush near Castaic Lake, a popular recreational area about 40 miles (64 kilometers) away. of the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires that have been burning for three weeks. Although the region was under a red flag warning for critical fire risk, winds were not as strong as when those fires started, allowing firefighting aircraft to drop tens of thousands of gallons of fire retardant on the new fire. By Wednesday night, approximately 14% of the Hughes Fire had been contained. “The situation we are in today is very different from the situation we were in 16 days ago,” Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said Wednesday night. (John Locher/Associated Press) (Café de Leche / Matthew Schodorf) Red flag warnings were extended until 10 a.m. Friday in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Officials remained concerned that the Palisades and Eaton fires could break their containment lines as firefighters continue to monitor hot spots. More than 31,000 people have been ordered to evacuate from the Hughes Fire, and another 23,000 are under evacuation warnings, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said.

(Ethan Swope/AP) A 48-kilometer (30-mile) stretch of the main north-south artery had been reserved for emergency vehicles, to move equipment and to prevent accidents due to smoke crossing the highway. Crews on the ground and in water-dropping aircraft attempted to prevent the wind-driven fire from crossing the interstate and heading toward Castaic. Marrone said since the winds were not as strong as they were two weeks ago, aerial crews were able to drop fire retardant on the south side of the fire, where the flames were moving. More than 4,000 firefighters were assigned to the fire, he said. Winds in the area were blowing at 67 kilometers per hour (42 miles per hour) in the afternoon. They had reached 65 mph (105 km/h) in some mountain spots by Wednesday night, according to David Roth, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Kayla Amara drove to the Stonegate neighborhood in Castaic to pick up items from the house of a friend who had run out to pick up her daughter from preschool. While Amara was packing up the car, she learned that the fire had dramatically increased in size and decided to spray the property with a hose. “Other people are also spraying their houses with hoses. I hope there is a house to return to,” Amara said as police cars raced through the streets and flames engulfed trees on a hill in the distance. Amara, a nurse who lives in nearby Valencia, said she has been on edge for weeks as massive fires devastated Southern California. “It’s been stressful with those other fires, but now that this one is close to home it’s just super stressful,” he said. To the south, Los Angeles officials began preparing for possible rain as some residents were allowed to return to the charred areas of Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

Wisconsin man accused of setting fire to lawmaker’s office over TikTok ban

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

MADISON, Wisconsin, USA — A Wisconsin man who allegedly told police he tried to set fire to a lawmaker’s office because he was upset with the federal ban on the social media platform TikTok was charged Wednesday with multiple counts, including one of arson. Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney filed a complaint against 19-year-old Caiden Stachowicz, charging him with felony arson, making terrorist threats, attempted robbery and criminal damage. property. If convicted of all charges, he would face a sentence of more than 50 years in prison. Stachowicz, a native of Menasha City, was scheduled to make his first court appearance Wednesday morning. Online court records indicated Judge Tricia Walker set cash bail for him at $500,000 and ordered him to have no contact with Republican U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman or his staff. He was also prohibited from possessing any dangerous weapons or materials to start a fire. Records showed Stachowicz appeared via video call from jail. His lawyer could not be contacted at this time. According to the complaint, a police officer responded to a fire outside Grothman’s office in Fond du Lac around 1 a.m. Sunday and saw Stachowicz standing near the site. The officer said that while he was working to put out the flames with his fire extinguisher, Stachowicz told him he started the fire because he doesn’t like Grothman. The officer handcuffed Stachowicz and took him to the police department. Firefighters and police quickly extinguished the fire, limiting the damage. During an interview at the police department, Stachowicz told the officer that he bought gasoline and matches to start a fire in Grothman’s office, according to the complaint. He said he tried to get into the office so he could start the fire inside, but he couldn’t break the window. He then poured the gasoline into an electrical box at the back of the building and around the front of the building, lit a match and watched it burn, the complaint adds. He noted that he wanted to burn the building because the US government was shutting down TikTok and Grothman voted “in favor” of banning the social network, according to the complaint. Grothman voted in favor of a bill in April last year that forced TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell its US operation by Sunday. Stachowicz said he believed the closure violated his constitutional rights. He added that he had participated in peaceful protests in the past, but no longer believes peace is an option, the complaint states. “Caiden said it was a government building and he wanted to cause a disruption and make a point by starting the fire in the building,” according to the complaint. “Caiden commented that he wished the entire building had burned down.” When asked if he expected people to be inside the building, he said no and that he didn’t want to hurt anyone, and he didn’t want to hurt Grothman either. TikTok went down in the US on Saturday afternoon, but the platform was back up and running hours later after then-President-elect Donald Trump said he would try to give ByteDance more time to find a buyer. Trump signed an executive order Monday after taking office instructing the U.S. attorney general not to implement the ban for 75 days. When asked to comment on the charges, Grothman spokeswoman Noelle Young responded by saying Grothman would call The Associated Press directly. However, the lawmaker had not contacted the AP as of Wednesday afternoon.

An executive order paves the way for Elon Musk to fire them from DOGE

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

As soon as Trump was sworn in under the watchful eye of his new Praetorian Guard made up of the greatest fortunes in the worldgot to work signing the first decrees. One of the priority decrees was the official creation of DOGEhe Efficiency Department Government that will be directed by Elon Musk. The second, change the status of federal workers so that Musk can fire them at his discretion. Fire career officials. One of the most controversial points of the executive order that Donald Trump signed after his appointment is the change in status for career officials, in charge of enforcing regulations regardless of who occupies the Oval Office. To guarantee this independence, these officials had additional protection contemplated in Annex F (Schedule F). One of Trump’s executive orders mandates change this protected statusso they can now be fired if they do not comply with the orders of their superiors. This was one of the requirements of Project 2025 which has been developed by the most radical wing of the Republican Party, and which Trump has denied throughout the campaign, until just after his appointment. Only loyal officials. In another section of this executive order it is established that “Because SES officials exercise significant government authority, they must act at the will of the president”, placing special emphasis on that presidential figure, for which it has modified different sections of Annex F “Failure to do so will be grounds for dismissal,” the order states. Scott Michelman, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia, assured from a statement issued by the organization that “The executive order on the federal workforce is a power grab by Trump, expanding his authority to fire employees he perceives as insufficiently loyal.” Michelman claims that, “during the last Trump administration, he encountered federal workers who were following the law, rather than indiscriminately following his orders. Federal workers should not be fired because they are more loyal to the US Constitution than to the president. That is a threat to both our constitutional values and the rule of law.” “The real goal of the order is to target workers based on their real or perceived disloyalty toward the president and his political goals,” Scott Michelman concludes. The excuse of efficiency. Another of the controversial points that complement this executive order is that all officials and the 2.3 million federal civilian employees must be evaluated for the efficiency of their work and, if it is not satisfactory, they could be fired. However, that same order prohibits “certain personnel actions” and “actions based on the employee’s partisan affiliation, other protected characteristics or due to the employee’s status as a whistleblower.” Everett Kelley, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, declared to the cnn: “President Trump’s order is a blatant attempt to corrupt the federal government by removing employees’ due process rights so they can be fired for political reasons. It will eliminate hundreds of thousands of federal nonpartisan professional civil service jobs and make them responsible before the will of a man”. Closing of hiring and teleworking. Given the massive filtering that the entire US federal administration is going to face, the executive order signed by Trump hours after his appointment, indefinitely canceled any contracting process of the administration. Furthermore, the order signed by Trump urges all federal employees without exception to go to their offices, all being revoked teleworking agreements. The only exception would be that, as how it happened In some Amazon offices, the facilities did not have enough capacity to accommodate them all. In that case, it is anticipated that “provided department and agency heads make such exemptions as they deem necessary,” so they could send some officials back home. According to data provided by nearby sources to the new government, its calculations show that only 6% of public employees work from the offices of their agencies. However, a report prepared by the US Congress reveals that the figure is much higher, exceeding 54%, and only 10% of civil servants do it completely remotely.
