By Karen Palmer Verified| SFGate Verified When a wildfire broke out in the Pacific Palisades on Jan. 7, it spread far faster than even the most astute environmental experts could have predicted.

Drive down Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles fast enough, and you could almost swear that you’re seeing a scaled-down corner shop Costco, complete with bulk items and a hearty frozen foods section. Nope, that’s not the warehouse retail giant — it’s Koshco.
