LOS ANGELES - Survivors of both the Eaton and Palisades fires joined forces Thursday, calling for the resignation of State Insurance Commissioner, Ricardo Lara.

Residents are demanding Gov. Gavin Newsom step in since he appointed Lara as commissioner. They say if Lara refuses to resign, they want the legislature to start proceedings to impeach him.

Their request comes on the heels of a new report that found a 2023 plan struck between the commissioner and insurers resulted in more policyholders being dropped ahead of January's emergency.

On Thursday morning, a group of fire survivors led by the Eaton Fire Survivors Network gathered outside Good Neighbor Bar in Altadena to discuss the report. The network consists of more than 8,500 people who were impacted by January's wildfires.
