The Pack Fire in Mono County, about 140 miles southeast of Sacramento, had grown to about 5.3 square miles by Thursday night.

The charges stem from a mandated $1 billion bailout by insurance companies of the state’s last-resort insurance program, known as the FAIR Plan, after it ran out of money to cover roughly $4 billion in claims from victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, which damaged or destroyed nearly 13,000 homes.

A new wildfire was reported today at 5:57 a.m. in Los Angeles County, California. The wildfire has been burning on private land. At this time, the containment status is unknown and the cause of the fire remains undetermined.

The GOP-led hearing included criticisms of Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA city officials. Newsom’s office called it ‘cheap shots.’

Survivors gathered in Altadena, where they sounded off on a report, which detailed how a deal between Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara and insurers changed the insurance landscape.

Two senior living communities are disputing some of the findings related to state citations given for lapses in care and emergency planning related to January wildfires that erupted in and around Los Angeles.

We thought we could trust the system,” said a homeowner in Altadena whose insurance policy was canceled only months before the January fires destroyed his home.

A new wildfire was reported today at 12:25 p.m. in Mono County, California. After being active for six hours, Pack Fire has burned 3,400 acres. 368 firefighters have been assigned to respond to the blaze.
