Authorities search for suspect in Los Angeles freeway fire

Authorities are searching for a person of interest in connection with an arson attack that caused significant damage to a section of the I-10 freeway in Los Angeles. The fire, which was determined to be intentional, burned for three hours and affected six football fields' worth of wooden pallets, trailers, and vehicles. Cal Fire released images of the individual, described as a man with burn injuries on his left leg, who was seen wearing a black hoodie, blue shorts, grey shoes, a green scarf, a knee brace, and a dark backpack. The freeway has been closed since the incident, but repairs are underway, and it is expected to reopen ahead of schedule.

"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.

"Devastating Fire on I-10 Causes State of Emergency and Freeway Closure in Los Angeles"

The destructive pallet yard fire in downtown Los Angeles has led to the indefinite closure of the I-10 Freeway, causing major traffic disruptions. Los Angeles city leaders are working on a three-pronged approach to address the issue, including providing alternate routes, reopening the road as quickly as possible, and prioritizing safety. Commuters have been advised to expect delays and are encouraged to use public transit, particularly the Metro rail system. The Los Angeles Unified School District expects significant impacts on schools in the area but will remain open. Metrolink will expand services on its San Bernardino Line, and drivers are advised to use surrounding freeways as alternate routes. Traffic officers will be stationed near impacted schools during peak hours.
