Looters are impersonating firefighters in order to rob homes in stricken Los Angeles, according to LA County Sheriff Robert Luna.

“When I was out there in the Malibu area, I saw a gentleman that looked like a firefighter and I asked him if he was okay because he was sitting down,” Luna told reporters at a press conference.

“I didn’t realize we had him in handcuffs. We are turning him over to LAPD because we didn’t realize he was dressed like a fireman and he was not,” he added.

“He had just got caught burglarizing a home.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom has said there will be a zero-tolerance policy towards looting, in the face of reports that armed and well-organized gangs are targeting vacant homes in areas affected by the devastating fires.

It’s reckoned that the cost of the fires could exceed $150 billion, making them one of the costliest natural disasters in American history.

On  Sunday evening, the Palisades Fire had expanded to over 23,000 acres with 11% containment, the Eaton Fire had reached over 14,000 acres with 27% containment, and the Hurst Fire had reached 799 acres with 89% containment. 

There has been an increasing focus on official incompetence and mismanagement in recent days, as contributing factors towards the fires and their spread.

It’s claimed that Los Angeles water chief Janisse Quiñones knew the Santa Ynez Reservoir was empty when the fires broke out and that many fire hydrants in the city were broken.

Nearly 120,000 people have signed a petition calling for LA Mayor Karen Bass to resign.

The petition, launched on change.org last Wednesday, currently has 117,713 signatures at time of writing.

Gavin Newsom has now launched a special website to counter “misinformation” about the California wildfires, including claims he cut the state firefighting budget.

Newsom has been hard-pressed after a series of revelations about cuts to the state firefighting budget. According to Newsweek, Newsom approved cuts totalling $101 million from seven “wildfire and forest resilience” programs.
