"Intentional Arson: Gov. Newsom Reveals Cause of Massive I-10 Freeway Fire in Downtown LA"

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that a preliminary investigation has determined that the massive fire that closed the I-10 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles was intentionally started with "malice intent." Detectives are still working to determine who set the blaze and the public is urged to come forward with any information. The fire, which burned through trailers and vehicles, was first reported as a "rubbish fire" and caused significant damage to the freeway structure. Despite concerns, the freeway deck is stronger than originally assessed. The owners of the property where the fire started have been engaged in a legal battle with the state and have been accused of unauthorized subleasing and non-compliance with regulations.
