The
Palisades Fire was one of two major infernos that hit Los Angeles on Oct. 7, 2025. The other was the
Eaton Fire in the foothills of Altadena, which was caused by Edison, likely a
negligent utility that left its inoperable transmission tower standing for decades and uncared for, making it a known fire hazard, according to attorney Mikal Watts (
lafirejustice.com). Until now the means by which the historic winds that day managed to burn down the ritzy coastal areas of Los Angeles have been debated. The fire he set, the
Lachman Fire, has been blamed on homeless individuals and fireworks. But authorities are now saying
Jonathan Rinderknech, 29, a former Palisades resident now living in Florida, committed arson a week earlier and that those flames were never fully extinguished, coming to life with the strong winds.
