Before the wildfire that destroyed thousands of homes, Altadena was already debating a tense question: should new housing be built in places that could burn?

A new wildfire was reported today at 5:18 a.m. in Los Angeles County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. At this time, the containment status is unknown and the cause of the fire remains undetermined.

As the investigation into the devastating Palisades Fire continues, early indications show the blaze was probably not natural in origin. Two leading theories have emerged, the Los Angeles Times reports.
