MS NOW reporter Jacob Soboroff offers a raw, firsthand account of the January 2025 Great Los Angeles Fires—the Palisades and Eaton blazes that became the costliest wildfire in U.S. history, destroying thousands of structures in his childhood neighborhood. His narration blends live reporting from the frontlines, personal grief as he watches his hometown burn, and months of follow‑up investigation with firefighters, victims, scientists, and officials, exposing cascading failures in infrastructure, preparedness, and response. Soboroff frames the fires as a harbinger of America’s “new age of disaster,” blending thriller‑like immediacy with urgent warnings about climate change, political dysfunction, and the need for systemic change.
