US-WEATHER-FIRE

Charred trees from the Palisades Fire and the sign for the fishmarket and restaurant, Reel Inn, which opened in 1986, along Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, on January 17, 2025. Tens of thousands of people ordered to flee their homes as wildfires tore through Los Angeles were told on January 16 they would not be allowed back for at least a week, with fears over electrocution, landslides and exposure to toxic materials. Frustration is mounting among evacuees, who are angry over rules that restrict them from returning to their homes, even if the structures survived the deadly blazes. (Photo by Frederic J.
