The investigation, conducted by Citygate Associates, examined evacuation decisions, incident communications, and fire behavior during critical hours of the fire.<\/p>\n

Investigators concluded that the fire department acted appropriately under what were described as unprecedented weather conditions. The report also found there was no evidence of bias in evacuation decisions.<\/p>\n

“The Altadena community deserves transparency, which is why I initiated this independent investigation,” said Fire Chief Anthony Marrone. “While the report provides an honest account of our operations, we recognize that no investigation can truly capture the horror and tragedy residents endured. My focus is to ensure that the lessons learned from the Eaton and Palisades Fires are turned into lasting changes that will better protect our residents and neighborhoods into the future.”<\/p>\n
