Soboroff reflects on lessons of LA wildfires in 'Firestorm'

Season 2026 Episode 9 | 8m 04s

It's been one year since the Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires tore through Los Angeles, destroying thousands of homes and killing more than 30 people. In his new book, journalist Jacob Soboroff offers a deeply reported account of the catastrophe, told through the voices of firefighters, political leaders and residents. Soboroff joined Geoff Bennett to discuss "Firestorm."
