Los Angeles police make arrests 24 years after fatal apartment fire
The fire in the heavily Latino Westlake District shocked the city with its devastation and dominated the headlines for weeks. The blaze prompted calls for stronger safety protections and fire inspections, and triggered a criminal investigation that resulted in arrests 24 years after it began. The LAPD declined to release any further details of the arrests, saying that authorities would provide more information at a news conference planned in Los Angeles for Monday.
