LA's Fire-Rebuild: Can Speed Outpace the Next Blaze?

CBS News correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti analyzes Los Angeles's rush to rebuild after last year's devastating wildfires ahead of the 2028 Olympics, noting that permits are being expedited and many homes are being rebuilt with wood despite fire-resistant options like steel or concrete; while some brick-like, code-exceeding homes survived, homeowners aren't necessarily informed about safer building choices, risking a repeat of past lessons unless stronger standards are adopted and time is taken to plan for a more fire-resilient city.

When a California town burned: a journalist's warning about megafires and rebuilding

CBS News correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti’s book excerpt on the Palisades Fire recounts how Pacific Palisades was overwhelmed by a megafire amid 100 mph winds, slow on-the-ground response, and blocked roads, with officials blaming wind and drought rather than accountability. The piece argues that current building codes and planning are ill-suited for escalating fires and presents the disaster as a warning about a warming world and the urgent need for real, structural change in how communities prepare for and rebuild after megafires.

Raiders Trade Crosby to Ravens, Kickstart Their Rebuild

The Las Vegas Raiders traded star edge rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks, ending Crosby’s seven-year run as the franchise’s face amid a broader rebuild that followed multiple coaching and front-office changes. The Raiders plan to build around a new regime under Klint Kubiak, with Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza and other young players, while Crosby heads to Baltimore where the franchise is remaking itself. Crosby is expected to pass his physical with the Ravens next week and join a team aiming to climb back into contention.

Jazz’s slow-burn rebuild vs Wizards’ quick-hitting gamble

Two NBA rebuilds illustrate divergent paths: Utah consolidated assets to land Jaren Jackson Jr., preserving cap space and future draft picks for a patient, long-term plan, while Washington chased a rapid upgrade by adding Anthony Davis (with whispers of a Trae Young pairing), a win-now move that hinges on an aging, injury-prone star and risks derailing a longer-term rebuild.

Camp House Fire Started by Abandoned Campfire

The Camp House Fire near Brimson, Minnesota, started by a small campfire that was not properly extinguished, burned over 12,000 acres, destroyed more than 200 structures, and caused significant community and property damage. The fire was linked to Parker John Wilson, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and paid a fine, but many community members feel the punishment was insufficient given the extensive destruction and displacement caused. Rebuilding efforts are ongoing, but many residents face financial and emotional challenges.
