Kathryn Barger is the Supervisor of Los Angeles County's 5th District. For the past few days, Southern California has been ablaze with wildfire, which has spread across tens of thousands of acres.

Tree Lane, the large cedars lining the road were still draped with old-school holiday lights — but nearly all the homes were ruined.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger responded to comments made by the CEO of Southern California Edison about the winds not being strong enough to shut off power to an Altadena transmission tower.

With a visit to the L.A. area, Trump could fulfill one of the unwritten rules of being a president: showing compassion for families who have lost everything.

GoFundMe told USA TODAY it would reach out to Barger because they do not charge fees that large, although they do ask for tips. "The only fee on GoFundMe is a standard transaction fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per donation, which helps us pay our payment processors and safely deliver funds," the company said in a statement to USA TODAY.

Amid a fifth consecutive day of fires in her county, Barger posted a two-page letter addressed to Trump in his capacity as president-elect.

Thousands of structures have been affected in what is already the most destructive firestorms in the city’s history. There have been multiple wildfires raging across Los Angeles County, including the monstrous Palisades Fire in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas of L.A. County, as well as the Eaton Fire in Pasadena and Altadena.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, as well as other local officials, said they were confident that President-elect Trump would visit the region.

Twenty people have been arrested so far for allegedly looting homes evacuated by residents fleeing wildfires, L.A. County Supervisor Kathryn Barger confirmed.

At least 20 people have been arrested on suspicion of looting during the wildfires raging in Los Angeles County, according to Sheriff Robert Luna.

When the smoke clears from the Southern California wildfires, what comes next? Wednesday night at 6 p.m., KNX News will present a two-hour special on the aftermath of the worst disaster in Los Angeles’ collective memory.

County supervisors in California are rarely singled out for criticism, as the LA fires show. That will soon change in Los Angeles County.
