Fact-checking claims about the Los Angeles wildfires: What’s true and what’s false

Credited from: USATODAY

  • Severe wildfires have devastated the Los Angeles area, damaging over 10,000 structures and resulting in at least 10 fatalities.
  • Misinformation spread alongside the fires, including false claims about firefighting efforts and the causes behind the fires.
  • One claim falsely stated that President Biden's visit grounded firefighting aircraft, which was debunked by the FAA.
  • Another viral assertion regarding directed energy weapons causing the fires was proven false, as the evidence referenced predated the current incidents.
  • The Los Angeles Fire Department clarified that only off-duty personnel were requested to assist, not any external volunteers.
