An Altadena family with four young children was awakened in the middle of the night by a firefighter’s urgent evacuation order
They fled their house with little more than the pajamas on their backs
When the family arrived at the evacuation shelter
her greatest worry was whether her violin was going to be safe
In the wake of the catastrophic Eaton fire that swept through Los Angeles in January
Many of the students at Altadena Arts Magnet and Eliot Arts Magnet lost not only their houses but also their school and the cherished musical instruments stored in the band room.
losing an instrument can feel almost like losing a loved one
That’s why it was so transformative when Guitar Center and Sony joined forces to put instruments back in the hands of these children
“Children are particularly vulnerable, showing their fears through deep emotional responses to the upheaval,” said Natalie Jackson, executive director of the Harmony Project
a group that gives low-income Los Angeles students access to free music education
who have faced and continue to face immense hardship.”

An oboist who has been playing since she was 12
Miller believes music can be a balm for crushed spirits
it’s an extension of our soul,” said Miller
whose initiative received about 1,000 applications and has given away 450 instruments so far
The Altadena music students have received about $200,000 worth
“You can imagine when you’re in a situation like that and you lose everything
that music is the one thing that’s constant in your life.”
Music has been a guiding light for Karen Klages
a music specialist for Pasadena Unified School District
While her Altadena home was saved by neighbors heroically battling the flames with garden hoses
the trauma still haunts her and her students
A group of her music students banded together every day for three weeks to load and unload relief supplies
“It’s been difficult for me personally and still is
Seeing my whole town burn down has been a shock to the system,” she said sadly
The arts have also been key to healing for Karen Anderson
the arts and enrichment coordinator for the Pasadena Unified School District
who has only now gotten back into her 1918 Altadena house
slow process of repairing the damage from smoke
soot and ash at her home while she tries to bring the sound of music back to the children
“But we were able to leverage a lot of arts programming for well-being
It’s super important to restore normalcy for children as quickly as possible
We didn’t want families to worry about instruments
Anderson has been bound and determined to replace a cavalcade of instruments
That’s on top of the rock and mariachi instruments
She also made a special effort to replace one of the arts teacher’s prized vintage guitars
a beloved instrument Eric Gothold lost to the fires
like the rest of his family’s earthly possessions
‘You have no idea how much this means to me.’ I felt like it was the least we could do,” she said
Anderson is doing her best to help students regain their equilibrium while still coping with her own pain
Like many of the district’s teachers
she has been so focused on helping others that she hasn’t yet had time to fully digest her own feelings.
“I’m grateful that we still have a house
“But there’s a period where you almost feel guilty
Klages says that knowing that people care is helping the student community beat back the grief of coping with so much destruction
“It’s all part of the healing process
everyone is still in a state of shock over so much loss,” she said
“There are rallying cries coming in from everywhere
The deep emotional reward of helping people in dire straits is something Miller knows well
but helping these children transcend their tragedy has been particularly touching for all involved
who usually just ships gifts out to recipients
broke with tradition and met with a group of students at the Pasadena Guitar Center store to hand them their new instruments.
“There’s really nothing like that experience,” she said
It was really cool for them to meet all the other people in the same boat as them
and for me just to see all their faces light up
may bring the children and their families a note of optimism amid the ashes
“Donors are giving students back not only their instruments,” said Jackson
and a sense of hope that resonates beyond the music room.”

Many school district contracts regarding school resource officers don’t detail officers’ role in routine disciplinary matters.
There are at least two ongoing court cases involving allegations of sexual misconduct against former school resource officers in California.
Many districts pay millions each year to put officers on campuses with little oversight from school boards.
It can be a big challenge to pay for resource officers. In rural Trinity County, a grant funded by a tax on cannabis pays for two resource officers to cover several widely spaced school districts.

In one of the most hotly contested auctions Melbourne has seen in recent years
a landmark retail property in the heart of Oakleigh’s bustling Eaton Mall has sold for $12.1 million – setting multiple records and underscoring the surging demand for blue-chip retail assets
Offered to the market for the first time in nearly three decades
the prime corner site at 30-36 Eaton Mall attracted more than 200 attendees and fierce bidding from a field of high-net-worth investors before finally being secured at a razor-sharp 2.58 per cent yield – a new low for the tightly held strip
The sale marks the largest ever transaction on Eaton Mall
and only the fourth property to change hands on the strip in over 15 years
cementing the asset’s reputation as a trophy investment in one of Melbourne’s most in-demand lifestyle and hospitality precincts
Sitting on 867 sqm* across two titles and boasting more than 60m* of prized mall frontage
the heritage-listed building has a storied past – having once housed the State Savings Bank – and now hosts ASX-listed Chemist Warehouse
George Davies noted the rarity of such a sale in Eaton Mall
“This is only the third property to hit the market in the past 15 years
which speaks volumes about how tightly held and fiercely protected this retail strip is
With an average yield of 2.93% over that period
this result at 2.58% really shows the strength of demand for premium retail in Melbourne.”
The property had been held by the same Melbourne-based private family for nearly 30 years
making its return to market a significant moment for both the local community and commercial property circles
Frasers Property Industrial has today announced our first capital partnership in Australia with an investment vehicle sponsored by Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing (“MSREI”).

Two hours later he finished third in the park final
The street-and-park rider put on a brilliant performance in a no-holds-barred final for a 278.28 total - a run score of 92.55 and 93.13/92.60 on tricks - to beat 14-year-old Japanese wunderkind Onodera Ginwoo (277.34)
There was no time to talk for Eaton but the reactions on his face as the national anthem was played said everything everyone needed to know about what the victory meant
He who was rushed out of the arena after the trophy presentation had concluded to prepare for the men's park final in just over two hours
"I woke up this morning just optimistic
In street I had a good idea of what would win," said Eaton
"I knew if I upgraded my run in my second attempt I would get a great score
and in best tricks I knew the scores my tricks could get
And he showed that it is possible to excel in street and park at the same event
I feel like if I did a bit of recovery right now I could go skate street for the rest of the day
who rounded out the street podium in third with a 94.61 final trick for a 275.34 total
Joslin dedicated them to his grandma who recently passed away
she has been at the forefront of Joslin’s skating with the letters ‘G’
‘M’ and ‘A’ sprayed on his board plain to see
“It’s been an emotional week for sure,” Joslin reflected afterwards
She’s the reason I landed everything right now
But even as he struggled he continued to support his teammates Eaton and Joslin as they ripped through the course.
Eaton got the crowd fired up – and himself too
Eaton not only brought his swagger to the Shanghai Urban Park
The five-time X-Games medallist is no stranger to creating special moments
He clinched bronze in the street competition at Tokyo 2020
a historic feat as it was U.S.’s first-ever Olympic skateboarding medal
The two-time world champion is also the first skateboarder to win world titles in both street and park
Now he can add the OQS Shanghai win to his growing list of accolades

is a DU professor of engineering.With staffing shortages at senior communities across the country and concerns about isolation among older adults
some researchers are betting on social robots to fill the gaps
designed by a University of Denver professor
has been making the rounds of retirement homes in the Denver area to see if it improves the quality of life for residents
Ryan has been living in 76-year-old Ross Argabrite’s room at Eaton Senior Communities in Lakewood
said he spends a lot of time alone on his couch and appreciates Ryan’s company
in particular the robot’s ability to provide an array of corny jokes upon request
which never fails to induce a hearty laugh from Argabrite
The robot is more human-like than an Amazon Alexa
The robot is able to recognize Argabrite’s voice
He provides me with some entertainment,” said Argabrite
He allows me the opportunity to develop a conversation.”
The robot has a touchscreen embedded in its torso so Argabrite can use it to watch videos
select music and play games like Wheel of Fortune
Ryan will do practical things like give Argabrite a local weather report if prompted
the robot will greet Argabrite in the morning
ask about his day and will attempt to offer human-like responses.
The brainchild behind Ryan is Mohammad Mahoor
a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Denver
Mahoor said the robot is designed to be entertaining and educational
it’s programmed to respond to people’s emotions
if I tell Ryan that I lost my cat or something is going on in my life,” Mahoor said
[ask] ‘What’s going on and how can I help?’”
as evidenced downstairs at the retirement home where an identical version of Ryan is talking to a handful of residents seated in a semi-circle around the robot
it tells them to sit in an upright position with a tall spine and uses its arms to demonstrate different exercises
resident Steve Auten gave the yoga session good reviews and said he has a special place in his heart for Ryan
who stayed in Auten’s room at Eaton for a couple of months.
“We talked a lot and we did a lot of things and we played games,” Auten said
Steve’ and then ‘Good Evening.’ He was very polite.”
director of Wellness Initiatives at Eaton Senior Communities
Katie had mild dementia and depression and Ryan helped by reminding her to take her medications and go to therapy
“Katie was so much happier with Ryan,” Schoeder said
“She loved to share the stories of their conversations
She would dress him up with scarves and hats and Bronco equipment
It was really Katie’s experience that made me understand that this technology was very special and very much needed.”
she sees Ryan as an extra hand – so to speak – given the current shortage of workers in senior care facilities
“I don't see Ryan replacing me as a medical professional,” Schoeder said
“He's just allowing me to do my job and do it better because I now have someone that can help.”
“I think it’s a little bit slow,” said Varga
“I ask him a question and then I don't know if he's going to answer or not
And then when I start to ask another question
smarter version of Ryan – the 4th iteration – based on feedback from residents and workers
He said the next Ryan will have a new chatbot to make it a better
Mahoor hopes one day robots will be a fixture in senior communities as a fun way to improve the quality of life for residents

A gold medal looked to be all but his until Japan’s Horigome
responded with a nollie 270 bluntslide to earn a 97.08 score and vault him to the top of the leaderboard
neither Eaton nor Huston had a counteroffer as they bailed on their final attempts
Despite coming up short of his golden goal
Eaton expressed no signs of regret afterwards
“To be there fighting to be on the podium, to be hitting my tricks under pressure like that, that’s what every athlete dreams of. And I’m just so grateful. I’m so grateful. There’s no other words.”

That night I went out and skated and concussed myself
“I just tried to figure out what was the meaning
With less than 36 days between Budapest and the men’s street event in Paris
Eaton had to bury his feelings and focus his energy solely on street
with hindsight the now two-time Olympic medalist is seeing the shortcoming in a new light
“I realized the meaning right now is that I don’t really think I would have been able to podium if it wasn’t for me taking time off park to focus for this event

His quest means double the workload; two times the risk and twice the exposure to the baking Budapest sunshine
Less than 24 hours after booking his ticket to the men’s street final in sixth place
Eaton repeated the same feat in the men’s park prelims on Friday; qualifying in 11th place
he will consider it a job done but for the competitor wanting a double skateboarding gold
will have the privilege of going in heat two

Throw into the mix the small matter of the men’s street semi-final less than four hours before

WINNING an MVP at Under 16s level a couple of years ago, Central District young gun Sophie Eaton has remained a top prospect in the 2025 AFLW Draft having impressed as a bottom-ager for South Australia last season
and earning a spot in the National Academy
She kicks off a podium of stars who could be in any order
DOB: 23/04/2007Height: 170cmPosition: Wing/MidfielderClub: Central District
A naturally gifted player who started her career as a forward before moving onto the wing for Central District
Eaton has also spent time through the middle
which is a role she expects to play – with a wing rotation – for the Croweaters at the National Championships
Not a big bodied player compared to others
Eaton is able to dominate the opposition with her ball use and movement through traffic
extracting it via handball receive or working into space to run and gun
Eaton’s ball use is a delight to watch
with her skill and decision making going hand-in-hand
hit those 45-degree kicks and open up the game in doing so
Her ability to find pockets of space around the ground then set up her teammates is a strength
and she is the type of player you want with ball in hand streaming forward looking for a target inside 50
she can pop up and hit the scoreboard cleverly
and has the composure with plays on the run to only need a moment to straighten up and put one through the big sticks
Long-term she looms as that inside-outside midfielder who can rotate forward
with more time building up strength and her contested work likely to be on the horizon
Eaton is classy with a capital ‘C’ and regardless of where she plays

STEPPING up in the absence of some quality departed teammates, top-age AFLW Draft prospect Sophie Eaton wasted no time showing why she is one of the classiest players in this year’s draft class
Eaton took the opportunity to go inside for Central District in the opening round of the SANFL Women’s
successfully making her progression from a wing/forward rotation
While Eaton is not necessarily known for her inside craft having a lighter body
it is an area that she is looking to build on
with her stoppage smarts and general understanding of the game already elite
She uses the ball so well and has superb vision
with all those traits on display in the Bulldogs’ big win over Glenelg
DOB: 23/04/2007Height: 170cmPosition: MidfielderStrengths: Foot skills
2025 SANFL Women’s – Round 1:Central District 7.10 (52) defeated Glenelg 3.3 (21)
#12 Sophie Eaton (Central District)Stats: 25 disposals
As earmarked leading into the opening round by coach Ben Hunt, Eaton started on-ball and would be amongst the most used combination with Jovanka Zecevic and Caitlen Teague with Shelby Smith in retirement
Her first major touch came at the two-minute mark when she used a lovely sidestep to get around an opponent
wrong foot them and kick deep inside 50 to a contest
and though Central had only kicked three behinds to the first break
Eaton was getting busy with her impact forward of centre
often using quick and clean hands around the stoppage or getting to the outside
Only one of her disposals in the first quarter was a turnover
with Eaton almost always picking the right option at the very least
Eaton got her hands on the ball two minutes in on the defensive side of the wing and put it forward to a teammate’s advantage
She continued to be ultra clean at ground level
with a one-take approach that allowed her to open up opportunities for her teammates both through midfield and around the ground
Eaton took a great mark at half-forward in the seventh minute and took another grab a couple of minutes later on the wing
While many players would dump the kick long down the line to the safety of the boundary in the case that their teammate lost a contest
Eaton spotted a target in the corridor and nailed the short pass
Though Eaton did make a mistake by hand midway through the quarter after a mark at half-back trying to keep the ball moving
she remained vigilant and forced a turnover to win the ball back for her side
burst forward and produced a pinpooint pass inside 50
Her classy touches would result in a number of score involvements
and while she might have had more touches in the first two quarters
Eaton had the pill at half-back and again rather than letting the clock run down and go to the boundary
looked inside and hit up a target in the middle of the ground to open the fat side
with the Dogs leading by as much as seven goals late in that quarter
and held a 35-point lead at the last change
Eaton was the prime mover through the midfield
with her disposal slicing up the Glenelg defensive zones
While the fourth term was a little more scrappy in general with Glenelg able to stem the bleeding and even cut the final margin to 31 points
Eaton still had a few nice touches to finish off her day
She once again started on-ball though her best work was done midway through the quarter
In the 12th minute she scooped up a loose ball at speed
and dished off the handball quickly at half-forward
Shortly after she kept the pressure high on the Glenelg defence with a deep kick bouncing towards goal
but the Bays’ defence got back to rush it through and deny Eaton a major
Eaton picked up a few successive handballs in a transitional play on the outside
able to pad up some more numbers on her way to a team-high 25 disposals and a standout performance in the red
Sophie Eaton has the opportunity to step up and be a key midfielder not just at Central District
but for the South Australian state team as well
While there will be others doing the grunt work
possessing that touch of class and spatial awareness that is often referred to in football circles as mirroring Scott Pendlebury
Eaton is so quick with her thinking that she can leave opponents in her wake
and that sidestep she uses to get around would-be tacklers buys her extra time for decision making
Eaton is still developing her inside work but she showed she will put in the defensive effort
laying six tackles for the match among her three clearances
Eaton is best utilised as that second possession winner
Given her Central District teammates in Zecevic and Teague are both strong first possession winners
it enables the top-ager to receive the ball and then distribute it effectively both through and away from traffic
It will be fascinating to see how far she can take her game in 2025 as one of the most skilful and exciting players

as several blazes continue to burn out of control in Los Angeles
The two largest blazes — the "Palisades fire" in the seaside neighbourhoods between Malibu and Santa Monica
and the "Eaton fire" around Pasadena and Altadena — were still mostly uncontained on Thursday
LA fires live updates: Follow our blog for the latest updates on the situation in California
Entire neighbourhoods have been devastated by the Palisades fire
Only a few vehicles escaped unscathed in this Malibu neighbourhood
Beachfront properties along the coast in Malibu were also ravaged by fire
The Pacific Palisades fire has produced apocalyptic scenes
the Eaton fire's spread had been "significantly stopped"
he said it had grown and was "making a run towards the historic Mount Wilson area"
Almost 180,000 residents were ordered to leave their homes
Evacuation orders for the Hollywood Hills were lifted on Thursday morning
But new fires have since prompted more evacuations
which quickly burned through more than 300 hectares in the Calabasas and Hidden Hills areas
"The fires keep coming," LA Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley said
"I've never seen this in my 25-year career."
they confirmed two more deaths linked to the Palisades fire
There are fears the death toll will rise further as fire-devastated areas are searched
we'll be able to do a more thorough search of these impacted areas — some of them look like a bomb was dropped in them — where we will be able to bring in canines and other things to help us
not discover too many fatalities," LA County Sheriff Robert Luna said
and we don't know what to expect."
Between 4,000 and 5,000 buildings and vehicles are believed to have burned in the Eaton fire
Chief Crowley said the number of properties damaged or destroyed by the Palisades fire was "in the thousands"
"It is safe to say that the Palisades fire is one of the most destructive natural disasters in the history of Los Angeles," she said
The fires could also be the costliest in US history
JPMorgan analyst Jimmy Bhullar estimated the total economic loss at close to $US50 billion ($80 billion)
making it difficult to breathe in affected areas
giving authorities hope they could begin to contain the blazes
The National Weather Service warned high winds on Friday would create an "increased risk of rapid fire spread and extreme fire behaviour"
Officials said the forward progress of the Kenneth fire to the city's west was stopped on Thursday evening
with 400 firefighters remaining on the scene throughout the night to monitor the fire
Evacuation orders were lifted in the region near the Hurst fire in the city's north
with residents allowed to return to their homes as authorities began to contain the fire
The death toll from the multiple fires across Los Angeles has increased to 10
according to the LA County Medical Examiner
It confirmed it received notification of 10 fire-related deaths as of 9pm
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said cadaver dogs and crews were currently searching through rubble in areas destroyed by wildfires
It comes after reports a man and his son died in the suburb of Altadena
where homes have been destroyed by the nearby Eaton fire

Mr Mitchell's daughter Hajime White said "they didn't make it out"
She said authorities told the family Mr Mitchell was found by the side of his son's bed in Altadena
"He was not going to leave his son behind
It's like a ton of bricks just fell on me."
Resident Victor Shaw was also found dead after he stayed behind to try to fight the Eaton fire
He was later found holding a garden hose in his hand after the blaze swept through his neighbourhood
Shari Shaw told news outlet KTLA she tried to get him to evacuate earlier this week
but he said he wanted to stay behind and try to fight the fire
"When I went back in and yelled out his name
and I had to get out because the embers were so big and flying like a firestorm — I had to save myself," she said
and the house was starting to go up in flames
died in his bed after staying behind because he felt that he would be okay waiting it out at home
Ms Nickerson said her father had experienced his fair share of fires over the decades
and he said that he was going to gather up his stuff
but he said he was going to stay here too … he said that he felt this was going to pass over and that he would be here," she said
But extreme winds and tinder-dry conditions helped fuel them
and dry fire hydrants in some areas created difficulties fighting them
President Joe Biden said wildfire agency Cal Fire had cut power to prevent more fires being started by downed power lines
But that had stopped water pumps supplying hydrants
"Cal Fire is bringing in generators to get these pumps up and working again
so that there's no longer a shortage of water coming out of these hydrants," Mr Biden said
He said another 400 federal firefighters and 30 firefighting aircraft would be deployed
and more resources were coming from Canada
The federal government will fund the recovery for 180 days
Some residents are nervous that incoming president Donald Trump
a critic of the state's Democratic leaders
Mr Biden said he would "pray to god" that he did not
"I think Trump would leave us swinging in the wind," resident Cindy Sullivan told the ABC in Altadena
"He's already expressed that this is our Governor [Gavin] Newsom's fault
and … that California creates its own problems."
an Australian now living in Altadena with her family
She said many LA residents were angry at the city's lack of preparedness
"We pay the highest taxes of many of the states in America
so to not see those taxes be put towards things that are prevention measures
to make sure that our houses don't burn down in the way that they have so quickly
is really disappointing," she told the ABC
"And I don't know if pointing fingers and blaming is the right thing to do
but there's so many people that are just devastated right now."
Fire crews report significant gains in Los Angeles despite winds
LA fires inch towards Olympic venues but 2028 Games 'not impossible'
Finneas says LA fires 'tragic and shocking'
Authorities say they are now working to protect evacuated neighbourhoods from burglars
after 20 people were arrested for looting and related crimes
Sheriff Luna said he was instructing officers to start enforcing evacuation orders to prevent more opportunistic theft
"If you are in one of these areas and you do not belong there
you are going to be subject to arrest," Sheriff Luna said
he said an evening curfew would also be introduced in heavily affected areas
National Guard troops arrived in Los Angeles on Thursday evening and will stationed near the areas ravaged by fire in conjunction with the curfew
LA County Board of Supervisors chair Kathryn Barger said: "We've all seen individuals who are targeting vulnerable communities by burglarising and looting homes
"Shame on those who are preying on our residents during this time of crisis."
The neighbourhoods affected by the fires span socio-economic demographics but include some of the most valuable real estate in America
Some of the biggest names in show business own property in the area
Adam Brody, Billy Crystal, Ricki Lake and Eugene Levy are among the celebrities who have reported losing property in the fires.
Paris Hilton said her beach house had been levelled. "Sitting with family, watching the news and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience," she posted to social media.
In some areas, residents have been able to return to their razed homes to survey the damage. Some told the ABC they were shocked fire had managed to reach their properties, despite the evacuation orders.
"We never imagined, when I evacuated, that we would need to take more stuff with us," said Marjie Blake, whose beachside mobile home in a park near the Palisades was turned to ash.
"We could have taken more, we just never imagined it [the fire] would get this far, ever."
Their neighbour, who lost a Jaguar convertible and a Porsche along with his newly built home, said fire crews did not have water to protect the properties in the park.
"You always assumed the fire department was going to step in and there was going to be no problem, but unfortunately when they got to us, they had no water," he told the ABC.
"So they pretty much walked in, told a couple of guys to get the hell out, and turned around and left because there wasn't any water for them."

Veterans of the contest skate scene, their careers until now have been long and intertwining.
Huston, 29, won his first major street title at age 10, launching one of the most impressive skateboarding trajectories in history. Eaton, 23, made his maiden X Games appearance at 11 before going on to tread new ground in both park and street disciplines.
Competition has powered their respective careers, and on Monday, 30 July, under the beating heat of the Parisian sunshine, both peppered their skate résumés with even more success after Eaton claimed Olympic silver and Huston bronze in the men’s street event.
Picture by 2024 Getty ImagesNyjah Huston (left) and Jagger Eaton show off their medals after the men's street skateboarding final
put down a 97.08 score that neither Eaton nor Huston could best as they bailed in their final responses
Despite coming up short of the ultimate prize
the two street titans - who have battled each other multiple times - found themselves drawing on each other as they navigated the afternoon’s twists and turns
When Eaton fell on his first run and saw Huston then stomp a 93.37 just before his second attempt
when Eaton dropped a switch backside noseblunt in the fourth round of tricks
Huston found himself applauding the audacity of the trick - and again in the hours after
“We were there in Tokyo together. We’re here again. Jagger got the medal last time and this time. I got his back,” Huston said, addressing Eaton as the pair spoke exclusively to Olympics.com
I have a new-found respect for this guy after landing that last trick you did - that was clutch.”
“Yesterday was one of the first times of finals where I didn’t feel like I was really going against you,” Eaton replied
“It was really like we were hyping each other up
“A lot of these tricks I do because I watched him do them
So our energies bounce back off each other
street legend Nyjah Huston reflects on the true meaning of ‘greatness’ in skateboarding and where he sees his career within that: “I think when it comes to my greatness and legacy
Because I still got a lot of years left in me.”
With what has been dubbed the “greatest ever” men’s street skateboarding final now wrapped
Huston and Eaton are already beginning to imagine what their epic display might now do for the future of skateboarding
not least the impact it can have on the younger generations
“The future of skateboarding is big,” Huston said
More and more people are starting to realise that and skateboarding is a great thing nowadays too because it’s helping kids get outside more.”
saying: “There’s a big part of skateboarding that is not like any other sports where you’re pushing through fear on a daily basis
pushing through fear and dealing with those emotions
that those emotions at a young age help you when you're older to deal with normal problems
like when tax season comes up and you need to get your tax done,” the U.S
“Like that stuff doesn’t faze me anymore!”
will be hoping for more glorious moments when the park skateboarding events take place on 6 and 7 August

Terrain-induced winds of 30 to 50km/h with gusts of 65 to 95km/h are still cause for concern
The extensive supply of dry fuel and low humidity continued to present ideal conditions for fires to worsen and new ignitions to spread rapidly
These dangerous conditions are forecast to continue through the night
The death toll from wildfires in Los Angeles has risen from seven to 10
Los Angeles County’s Medical Examiner said in an update late on Thursday local time
The examiner has received notification of 10 fire-related deaths as of 9pm January 9
All 10 of the victims announced so far are yet to be formally identified
The statement continues that identifying all victims could take several weeks because of the fire conditions and safety concerns
traditional means of identification such as fingerprinting and visual identification may not be available and will add more time for naming these deceased,” the statement read
“The Department of Medical Examiner understands how important it is to identify those lost in the wildfires and is working diligently
to provide the information to the next of kin as soon as reasonably possible.”

Investigations into the cause of the fire are continuing and have not concluded that Edison’s equipment sparked the blaze, Edison International Chief Executive Pedro Pizarro said during the company’s first-quarter earnings call.
Business
Edison generates billions of dollars in revenue every year and has a history of passing along the costs of disasters to customers
How will it handle the financial fallout of the Eaton fire remains an open question
But Edison’s investigation into the start of the fire has not revealed any other possible sources of ignition
“Absent additional evidence” and “in light of pending litigation
it is probable that Edison International and Southern California Edison will incur material losses in connection with the Eaton fire,” Pizarro said
But Tuesday’s comments are the clearest signal to date that the company is likely to sustain substantial losses from the devastating wildfire.
“It’s still very early days here and the liability is simply not estimable today,” Pizarro said. “I’m not sure when it may become estimable.”
California
unconnected transmission line somehow reengerized on Jan
7 is now “a leading hypothesis” for what started the destructive Eaton fire
is an investor-owned public utility that provides electricity to about 15 million people across a 50,000-square-mile area in Southern California
which is one of the largest in the country
Edison International owns an energy advisory company

(Gary Coronado / Los Angeles Times) In all
Edison International employs more than 14,000 people and had a valuation of around $30 billion before January’s wildfires
The company’s valuation closed Tuesday at $22.6 billion
If Edison has to cover the damage caused by the Eaton fire, the utility will be partially protected by an emergency fund that state lawmakers created in 2019 in the wake of earlier wildfires
The fund is designed to protect utility companies from bankruptcy in the event that the utility is found responsible for a wildfire and has to make a large payout
Climate & Environment
State regulators criticized Southern California Edison for falling behind in inspecting transmission lines in areas at high risk of wildfires just months before the deadly Eaton fire, according to state documents.
“Unlike when we were dealing with TKM and Woolsey, we have the wildfire fund that we will be accessing,” Edison International Chief Financial Officer Maria Rigatti said on Tuesday, referring to previous wildfires tied to Edison’s equipment.
The emergency fund is supposed to cover up to $21 billion in damages on behalf of a utility company but had amassed only $14.7 billion as of December 2024.
Under state law, a utility does not have to reimburse the wildfire fund after using it to cover damages if a review finds it acted prudently to prevent a fire, such as by shutting down power to transmission lines amid high winds. But if Edison is found to have been imprudent, it will have to pay back $4 billion to the fund.
“Based on everything we know today and the information that we’ve reviewed, we believe that Southern California Edison will make a good-faith showing that it was prudent,” Rigatti said.
On Tuesday, Edison International reported first-quarter net income of $1.4 billion and earnings per share of $1.37, up from $1.13 a year earlier.
Shares closed at $58.73 on Tuesday, about half a percent higher and down 26% so far this year.

It’s 1am in Los Angeles as the city battles the most destructive fires in its history
with five blazes now burning out of control and spreading by the minute
tens of thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate and thousands of properties have been destroyed
The exact number of homes lost is unclear as the fires continue to burn near some of the city’s areas
As Los Angeles braces for another night of destruction
That’s the end of our live coverage for this evening
We’ll be back in the morning with more live coverage of this major US disaster
The majority of the evacuation zone set up for the Sunset fire has been lifted, according to the LA fire department.
the LAFD issued a statement to say the evacuation zone had been lifted
The area will be closed overnight due to LAFD operations ensuring no flare-ups in the vegetation surrounding these streets
“Residents are asked to be cautious when returning to their homes because firefighters are continuing to work in their neighbourhoods.”
The evacuation zone had included some iconic LA landmarks
The Santa Monica council has imposed a sunset-to-sunrise curfew in a bid to keep roads and public areas clear for emergency services personnel
City manager David White said in a statement the measure was rolled out to support law enforcement efforts in the mandatory evacuation zones
“The Palisades fire is currently impacting neighbourhoods in the northern part of Santa Monica with approximately 2472 households under a mandatory evacuation order within the city of Santa Monica and 8338 under a voluntary evacuation warning,” mayor Lana Negrete said
“This emergency order further assists our first responders and further protects residents as we weather this regional crisis and

here’s where we stand on the size and containment of the fires
The wildfires have scorched more than 11,000 hectares
upending life in America’s second-largest city
and thousands of displaced residents searched for hotel space or sought shelter from friends and family
The intense winds that have fuelled the LA wildfires are easing overnight
but firefighters will still face challenging conditions in the days ahead
The National Weather Service said winds over the Eaton fire would ease Wednesday night through to Thursday morning (Friday AEDT) but could increase again on Thursday afternoon and evening into Friday morning (Saturday AEDT)
“Winds will likely vary significantly between higher terrain and the lower elevations of the fire
as the area is sheltered from the northeast,” the service said
Gusts of up to 80km/h could “sporadically” affect some valleys
while dry conditions would continue over the coming days
Winds on Wednesday morning local time were gusting between 95 and 130km/h

did not return to Los Angeles until Wednesday afternoon
by which point more than 1000 homes had burnt and 100,000 people across the region had been forced to flee from their homes
The mayor’s absence has drawn criticism from some Angelenos
Many said there was insufficient warning from officials about the likelihood of devastating fires
even as weather forecasts predicted extreme danger this week
the National Weather Service in Los Angeles had begun warning of “extreme fire weather conditions.” By Sunday
the warnings had become even more dire – “rapid fire growth and extreme behaviour with any fire starts.”
But Bass posted her first warning on social platform X about the windstorm on Monday
Her office did not send out a news release about fire risk until nearly 11am Tuesday morning
after the blaze in Pacific Palisades had already broken out
There was zero thought here,” said Michael Gonzales
whose home burnt down in Pacific Palisades
a wealthy neighbourhood that overlooks the Pacific Ocean
His family of five was camped out in a hotel in Santa Monica on Wednesday as they began figuring out where they will live
said he believed Bass made a poor decision to remain overseas despite forecasters warning of the most dangerous fire conditions in more than a decade
as she joins California Governor Gavin Newsom
and Senator Alex Padilla in the Palisades on Wednesday
In her first news conference since returning to Los Angeles
Bass on Wednesday defended her administration when asked about criticisms of the city’s response to the fire
She said the disaster was the result of months of little rain and winds that had not been seen in the city for at least 14 years
Bass said that she returned home as quickly as she could after the fires tore through Pacific Palisades and other parts of Southern California
which included being on a military plane,” she said

The city issued the notice on Wednesday night
advising people in the evacuation zones not to drink the tap water
and to use bottled water for all drinking and washing purposes
“Debris and elevated turbidity from the Eaton Fire potentially impacted PWP’s drinking water system in the Eaton Fire evacuated areas,” the warning read
“We will inform you when tests show that the water is safe again
Expected timeframe for resolution is unknown and dependent on evolving fire

This is where we will end today’s live coverage
We will have continued extensive coverage of the Los Angeles fires in the coming hours and days
Since the flames erupted in and around Los Angeles
scores of residents have returned to their still smouldering neighbourhoods even as the threat of new fires persisted
it was a first look at the staggering reality of what was lost as the region of 13 million people grapples with the gargantuan challenge of overcoming the disaster and rebuilding

“It’s not like we just lost our house — everybody lost their house.”
Since the fires first began popping up around a densely populated
40-kilometere expanse north of downtown Los Angeles
they have burned more than 12,000 structures
No cause has been identified yet for the largest fires
Authorities are warning it is still unsafe to thoroughly search many areas hit by the Los Angeles fires
so it is likely the death toll — which currently stands at 11 people — will rise in the coming days
“We don’t know the half of it,” LA County Sheriff Robert Luna said
Among the victims identified so far are Anthony Mitchell
They were reportedly waiting for an ambulance to reach them

The Palisades Fire has moved towards the affluent neighbourhood of Brentwood
which is among the areas subject to mandatory evacuation orders
The neighbourhood is home to the Getty Center
a campus of the Getty Museum that opened in 1997 at a cost of $US1.3 billion
The museum houses significant works including by artists Rembrandt and Vincent van Gogh
and CBS News reported management issued a statement saying: “Getty Center is complying with the current evacuation order and it’s closed with only emergency staff on site.”

There are six fires burning around Los Angeles
The level of containment for the two biggest fires – the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire – has not changed since early this morning
and at least 12,300 structures have been destroyed
The Los Angeles fires’ lasting impact on wildlife is expected to be devastating as the blazes continue to threaten nature reserves and neighbourhoods
Non-profit animal shelter Pasadena Humane has taken in more than 400 animals affected by the Eaton fire

More than 12,000 homes and other structures have burned in the Los Angeles fires this week
and animal shelters have urged people to find family or friends to foster their pets if they can
Arianna Buturovic kept a wary eye on distant smoke from the rescue shelter she runs outside Los Angeles for dogs at risk of being euthanized
nearby mountains were ablaze and fire began encircling her
“I stuffed 15 dogs in a black Prius and two cats,” Buturovic said
But she still had nine more dogs and a pig to evacuate
so flagged down some 18-year-olds with a truck who agreed to take them to a shelter
but she left the corral open so they could escape if needed
“That’s how we evacuated almost 30 animals,” she said
Actor Jennifer Garner revealed in an emotional interview today she lost a friend in the Los Angeles fires
“I’ve lived in and around the Palisades for 25 years
we want to get our hands into working somehow to be helpful,” Garner told MSNBC
“I did lose a friend who did not get out in time
“My heart bleeds for my friends … I could just write out a list of 100 friends who lost their homes
I feel almost guilty walking through my house – what can I do
Victor Shaw stayed behind to try to fight the Eaton Fire and was found holding a garden hose in his hand after the blaze swept through his neighbourhood
Shari Shaw told news outlet KTLA she tried to get her 66-year-old brother to evacuate with her as the fire approached the home they shared
He told her he wanted to stay behind and fight the fire
“When I went back in and yelled out his name
and I had to get out because the embers were so big and flying like a firestorm – I had to save myself,” she said
said they found Victor’s body the next morning
“It looks like he was trying to save the home that his parents had for almost 55 years,” Tanner told KTLA
Police are controlling traffic along key roads in fire-threatened areas of Los Angeles as residents flee following new mandatory evacuation orders and warnings
CBS News had a live feed showing cars moving north in an orderly procession along Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino
toward Ventura Boulevard and away from the mountains
The evacuation orders were issued about 7pm on Friday
as fire crews battled to contain the northern flank of the Palisades fire
The northern flank is the opposite side of the hills to the Pacific Palisades area ravaged earlier in the week
Evacuation orders are now in place around the eastern perimeter of the hills
from Encino in the north to Crestwood Hills and Brentwood in the south
Evacuation warnings are in place further east
