LAPD have made an arrest of a man in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles for suspected arson connected to the Kenneth Fire, which is now advancing toward Hidden Hills and Calabasa.

According to the authorities, the fire, that has since been spreading uncontrollably due to the high winds, was lit on purpose.

Speaking to NewsNation Charles Dinsel, a senior lead officer in the LAPD, said: “What we know right now is that the incident occurred, started here, and about 20 minutes [to] 30 minutes later a suspect was detained over the Woodland Hills area by citizens.”

The Kenneth Fire has burned more than 950 acres.

As per Fox Newsthe arrest happened around 4:30 p.m. Thursday, near the area of Arcos Drive and Galendo Street. The residents in the area witnessed a man on a bicycle carrying a torch and trying to lit old Christmas trees and garbage cans on fire. Luckily, they managed to stop him and even zip-tie him.

They detained the man until police arrived at the scene.

Authorities didn’t reveal the suspect’s identity. They are investigating whether he started other fires as well.

Initially, the LAPD stated, “There’s no way to know at this moment exactly where and how the series of fires started, but an investigation is underway.”

Celebrities such as Henry Winkler, Chris Brown, and Elizabeth Chambers pointed to intentional arson, leading to this response.

The death toll of the LA wildfires reached 10 and left many injured. Unfortunately, it is still uncontrolled despite the efforts by the firefighters to stop it.

So far, the wildfires destroyed at least 10,000 buildings, including iconic landmarks.

“We are expecting this fire to rapidly spread due to high winds,” LA Mayor Karen Bass said.

Authorities believe that the Kenneth Fire, the latest in the series of fires that destroyed parts of LA, have originated in the San Fernando Valley, adjacent to Ventura County and the West Hills neighborhood in northwest Los Angeles.

Joe Rogan Stunned As Mel Gibson Reveals How Three Of His Friends All Cured Stage 4 Cancers

Joe Rogan was left stunned as Mel Gibson revealed how three of his friends were all cured of stage cancer.

On his latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Mel Gibson claimed three of his friends all had stage four cancer, and what he has described as ‘some serious stuff going on.’The actor claimed they took ivermectin and fenbendazole – drugs that are used to treat infections such as roundworms and threadworms. He then said, after taking them, ‘they don’t have cancer right now.’‘This stuff works, man,’ he added.Some research suggests that fenbendazole can stop the growth of cancer cells – however, experts have said that despite early research looking good, there are some serious side effects.Gibson said: ‘I don’t believe that there is anything that can afflict mankind that hasn’t got a natural cure for it. It just makes sense to me. ‘I couldn’t prove that, but I just believe that. There’s got to be something that cures things.’Referring to both drugs mentioned, Rogan added: ‘This stuff does work, which is strange because it’s not profit.’Rogan added: ‘When you hear about things that are demonized and they turn out to be effective, you always wonder, “What is going on here? How have our medical institutions failed us so that things that do cure you are not promoted because they’re not profitable?”‘Dr Susanne Arnold, associate director for clinical translation at the Markey Cancer Center in Kentucky, told The Associated Press in 2024 that while yes, there have been pre-clinical studies exploring ivermectin and similar drugs that could slow cancer cell growth in labs, this isn’t the same as proving that the drugs would work in humans.She said: ‘I know of no reports of clinical trials that yielded successful results in humans with cancer.’

Pet Owner Returns Home After LA Fires And Is Left In Tears At What He Finds

Casey Colvin returned home after the LA fires ravaged his home and was left in tears with what he found.

It is now day seven since over 180,000 people had to abandon their homes in search of safety following the wildfires ravaging LA. The flames have destroyed thousands of acres of lands and thousands of buildings and homes. At least 24 people have sadly been confirmed dead due to the fires while many more are missing and unaccounted for. Governor Gavin Newsom decalred it ‘one of the worst natural natural disasters in US history’.Firefighters have warned that the disaster is still very active, with fires Palisade, Easton and Hurst still actively ravaging the countryside. Amongst the heartbreak, there have been some touching moments being shared online including a video about pet owner Casey Colvin. He was anxious to get home to track down his two dogs, after having evacuated the Palisades. The resident had not been at home when they were asked to evacuate the area but his two dogs, Oreo and Tika Tika Tika were. Speaking to NBC News, the man said: “I literally rescued them [the dogs] off the street, they deserve better than this. How do I get to my house?!”In a social media post shared by the network, the man explained that a firefighter saw his distress and ‘came to help’ – entering his home to find his pets. “At that time, Casey’s home had not burned and shortly after, the firefighter returned to the staging area with Tika Tika Tika,” the journalist said.“At that time, Casey’s home had not burned and shortly after, the firefighter returned to the staging area with Tika Tika Tika,”.“We were there as Casey reunited with his sweet girl,” she added. “But Oreo, a rescue who Casey says is behavioural, apparently ran out of the house and is now missing.”Only hours later, Colvin’s home was ‘burned to the ground’ and had it not been for the heroic firefighter – both of his dogs would have been ‘trapped inside’. Then, after five heartbreaking days of searching, a stranger spotted Oreo hiding in the rubble and Colvin ran to collect them. In the video that has since gone viral, the man can be heard saying: “Oh my god, you’re alive! You’re alive! Thank you, God,” while running with his dog and fist pumping into the air.One social media user responded “Awwwww such a sweet moment. I’m glad they were able to be reunited.”Another wrote: “I would be right there with this guy, totally losing it and crying my eyes out if it were my dog. So happy for this man and his little pup!”A third agreed: “This could be the one thing that holds someone’s life together after such an immense tragedy. My heart is so full for this man I don’t even know. That dog survived the imaginable and ran straight to dad.”Watch below: https://www.instagram.com/nbcnightlynews/reel/DEyQNR0slxk

Amid the Los Angeles wildfires, the business tycoon shares how the ‘miracle’ property remained completely ‘untouched’

Among the properties that were completely destroyed in the Palisades fire in Los Angeles, there is a $9 million property that remained untouched.

The owner of the house, David Steiner, believes there is an explanation behind the miracle of his property not being affected by the wildfire.

Unfortunately, the fires that rage in LA have burnt over 20,000 acres. So far, first responders have managed to put out three of eight wildfires.

Reports are that over 5,000 buildings, including homes, businesses, and landmarks have also been destroyed.

Authorities believe that the Kenneth fire, that threatens homes near Calabasas and Hidden Hills was set on purpose by a man that has since been arrested. The suspect was detained by the locals until police arrived. He was seen riding a bicycle and carrying a torch, trying to lit garbage cans and old Christmas trees.

Among those who lost their homes are a number of celebrities, among which Anna Faris, Eugene Levy, Paris Hilton, and Billy Crystal.

Tycoon David Steiner is surprised his property remained untouched by the raging flames.

When a local contractor sent him a video from the fire on January 7, Steiner, a retired retired waste-management businessman, was certain his three-story home was doomed, but that’s not what happened.

“[The contractor] was watching the news reports and saw my neighbor’s house going down and told me, ‘It looks like your house is going too’,” Steiner stated to the New York Post.

Soon, people started calling him on the phone, telling him his home was all over the news.

“I started getting pictures and realised we had made it through,” Steiner continued. “My wife sent me something this morning that said, ‘Last house standing’. And it brought a pretty big smile to my face at a pretty bad time.”

He believes that the house survived due to its cruise ship-like construction.

“It has an ‘ultra-sturdy construction’ and was built to withstand earthquakes,” the father of three said.

He explained that “It’s stucco and stone with a fireproof roof,” and boasts pilings ‘like 50 feet into the bedrock’ which keep it steady when strong waves crash in.

“To be totally honest with you, I never in a million years thought a wildfire would jump to the Pacific Coast Highway and start a fire,” Steiner said. “I thought, ‘If we ever have an earthquake, this would be the last thing to go’. I honestly didn’t think that if we had a fire, this would be the last thing to go. And it was.

“The architecture is pretty nice. But the stucco and fireproof roof are real nice.”

When people texted him, saying they were praying for him, Steiner said he’d only lose a property, not his home. He didn’t have family memories there. He says we need to pray for those who have lost their homes.
