Wildfires in Los Angeles have already destroyed thousands of buildings, but the full extent of the damage will not be known for some time, according to local officials during a media briefing Jan. 9.
The California Dept. of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) said it will conduct damage inspections and coordinate debris removal through tomorrow. Kathryn Barger, a member of the LA Board of Supervisors, said communities are “still facing significant threats, but I’m hopeful the tide is turning.”
