As officials warn that strong winds could worsen wildfire conditions in Los Angeles, residents and business owners have sued the city’s largest electricity provider, arguing that some of the utility’s equipment started the Eaton blaze in the area.

Officials have also announced the arrests of several people who are suspected of looting evacuated homes in the neighborhoods of the Palisades and Eaton fires, including one from which an Emmy award was taken.
