Earlier this month, a city-commissioned review was released stating that the Los Angeles Fire Department needs to overhaul its staffing policies, improve communication systems and enhance wildfire training following the devastating Palisades Fire that killed 12 people and destroyed much of the Pacific Palisades community.
The largest of the fires in Los Angeles County, the aforementioned Palisades Fire in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, began on January 7 and spread to 23,707 acres.
The second largest of the fires — the Eaton Fire, north of Pasadena — also began on January 7 and spread to 14,021 acres.
PRIEST is continuing to tour in support of its latest album, "Invincible Shield", which entered the U.K. chart at No. 2, just behind Ariana Grande's "Eternal Sunshine".
Prior to "Invincible Shield"'s arrival, PRIEST's highest U.K. chart achievement was with 1980's "British Steel", which reached No. 4. »
