As wildfires consume Los Angeles and force thousands to flee, celebrity neuroscientist and podcaster Andrew Huberman has ignited a new firestorm—this time online—by sharing a video he claims shows arsonists at work in the heart of the city.
Huberman, host of "The Huberman Lab" podcast and local of LA, posted a video on X of 302 Pico Blvd in Santa Monica, just meters away from the Palisades fire. In the video, he claims it shows arsonists lighting fires "in otherwise non-burning urban areas of LA."
People are lighting fires in otherwise non-burning urban areas of LA. Saw this happen first hand at 302 Pico in Santa Monica. Called it in & fire dept & police responded. Stay safe and call in any activity ASAP. We don’t need more flames out here. pic.twitter.com/AZ4GLr6N3q

"Saw this happen first hand at 302 Pico in Santa Monica. Called it in & fire dept & police responded. Stay safe and call in any activity ASAP. We don't need more flames out here," Huberman wrote.
"THERE IS an ARSONIST here in LA . May you be beaten you unrecognizable !!! The pain you have caused !!!," Actor Henry Winkler posted on X.
It has not been officially corroborated by authorities that incidents of arson have taken place in the area.
"There's nothing on our end we can verify now," LAPD explained when Latin Times reached out for comment.
"I do not know what report you're referring to nor do I have any information on it," LAFD further disclosed.
