Los Angeles firefighters have repeatedly warned that rising call volumes and chronic understaffing are slowing their response times, and new data shows one major driver -- encampment fires. Every time the L.A. Fire Department responds to a blaze, crews must file a report and mark whether it was "Homeless or Encampment Related."
