Malibu sues LA, California over Palisades fire — saying they prioritized ‘plants over human lives ‘
NY Post
The city of Malibu slapped Los Angeles and the state of California with a lawsuit over the devastating Palisades fire — saying officials didn’t do enough to stop the deadly blaze that “hollowed out” the oceanside community.
Malibu said the city’s “entire character changed” when the wildfire swept through and that it is “still reeling from the destruction it left in its wake,” according to the suit.
The 66-page complaint seeks to “recover significant financial losses” resulting from the devastating fire.
“This decision was not made lightly,” Malibu Mayor Bruce Silverstein said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “The City has an obligation to act in the best interests of our residents and taxpayers. The lawsuit seeks accountability for the extraordinary losses suffered by our community while recognizing that Malibu must continue to work collaboratively with our regional partners going forward.”
The complaint cites devastation in the Carbon Beach area of Malibu, burn scars near the Pacific Coast Highway and burned-down businesses in the area. It notes that the fire “destroyed over 700 homes and dozens of businesses” in the city.
The suit claims the fire was not merely an act of God, but a result of the “unlawful conduct” of the defendants.
