The death toll from the Los Angeles fires has now risen to 24, and officials expect that number to rise as specialized teams, including cadaver dogs, search through the rubble. On Sunday, January 12, firefighters continued their relentless efforts to contain the inferno encircling downtown LA. However, the return of powerful winds threatens to undo the progress made in recent days.
Meanwhile, residents of Pacific Palisades are slowly making brief visits back to their neighborhood to survey the damage left in the wake of the devastating fires. The scene is one of heartbreak and disbelief as they assess the extent of the destruction to their homes and community.
The situation remains precarious as firefighters brace for shifting weather conditions that could exacerbate the blazes. Emergency services continue to urge caution and preparedness among residents in affected areas.
