News24 | Los Angeles fire evacuees told no chance of return until at least Thursday
Monday, 13 January 2025 () Tens of thousands of people forced from their homes by enormous fires raking Los Angeles will not be able to return for at least four days, officials said Sunday.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing a recall attempt fueled by sharp criticism of his handling of devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Opponents argue his leadership has been marked by a series of failures, with increased living costs, rising crime, and inadequate wildfire management. The recall effort, spearheaded by Randy Economy of "Saving California," aims to gather 1.3 million signatures in five months. Despite the political storm, Newsom remains focused on firefighting efforts and recovery, dismissing the recall attempt as politically motivated.

Pacific Palisades residents are returning to their ruined homes as the Los Angeles wildfires continue to burn. But miraculously, Farhad, an architect, has found that his home has been untouched by fire, thanks to the efforts of firefighters who battled to keep the inferno from spreading. But many are not so fortunate. Farhad's neighbour, Paul, has returned to an apocalyptic scene in a sea of devastation. But Paul and Farhad are both mourning the loss of a neighbourhood. Standing in the rubble of his home, Paul says "the true loss" for him is of "connections and community". Report by Brooksl.

Bright pink powder blanketing Los Angeles has caught the attention of many as fire retardant Phos-Chek is dropped by air tankers to control wildfires. This chemical barrier prevents flames from spreading by coating vegetation and flammable surfaces, cutting off oxygen. While effective, environmental experts raise concerns over its impact on ecosystems and human health. Phos-Chek, though highly useful, has led to pollution, wildlife harm, and legal disputes. Its increasing use reflects the growing challenge of combating wildfires in a changing climate.
