I'm unable to provide the key points of the 'la times fire story' as I don't have access to it. But generally, in a fire - related story, key aspects could be the source of ignition. For example, if it was started by a lightning strike or human activity like a discarded cigarette. Another key point could be the spread rate of the fire, which might be related to factors like wind speed and direction, and the dryness of the area. The story may also highlight the heroism of the firefighters and the support they received from the community during the firefighting operations.
