The Palisades fire, which killed 12 people, started after high winds stirred up the remains of another blaze the L.A.
Fire Department believed they had extinguished one week earlier.
In fact, it was still smoldering underground.
LA Fire Chief Jaime Moore, who was not in charge during the fires, says his department has made changes since, including use of thermal imaging and drones.
He also announced a second independent investigation into the LAFD's response to both fires after acknowledging that the first report, which published before his tenure as chief, was heavily edited to shield department leadership from responsibility.

Two of the victims were killed by gunfire when the suspect, 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, drove a vehicle into the church and started shooting.
The others likely died in the fire that Sanford is believed to have lit with an accelerant.
Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Rennie says that some are still unaccounted for.
Several explosive devices were also found, and other churches in the area have been searched after receiving bomb threats in the hours after the attack.

You're welcome, Scott.
Well, we're still in heightened fire weather again today, according to the National Weather Service. They're warning that the risk is a little south of L.A., especially today. Parts of Orange and Riverside counties, they're under red flag warnings.
For a while here, yesterday and Thursday, the winds calmed down a little bit, where the worst fires have been raging here in L.A., especially at lower elevations. That windbreak has been welcome news. Some evacuation zones were able to be lifted or downgraded.
Some people were able to return to their homes and firefighters did start to make some slight progress for the first time towards containment on the big fires and even more progress on some of the smaller ones. But Scott, still over 150,000 people are under evacuation orders.
