LOS ANGELES COUNTY—Survivors of the Eaton Fire urged state and county officials on July 7 to hold insurance companies accountable as they struggle to rebuild six months after the blaze destroyed their communities.
As Gov. Gavin Newsom and Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara joined other officials at a news conference held in Pasadena, California, to mark six months since the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires claimed 30 lives and destroyed thousands of structures in January, Eaton Fire Survivors Network—a nonprofit group advocating for fire survivors—held a press conference to voice their concerns about insurance companies a few miles away in Altadena.
