One week after deadly wildfires ignited across Los Angeles, firefighters are still racing against fresh blazes reported Wednesday. 🌪️ New flames add to the apocalyptic scenes as crews sift through ash and debris for potential victims – a grim task they warn could take \"weeks, not days\" due to the unprecedented scale.
Over 1,000 personnel are now scouring charred neighborhoods with K-9 units and thermal tech, their work likened to \"searching for needles in a smoke-filled haystack.\" Meanwhile, evacuation orders remain in effect for 15 communities, leaving thousands displaced. 🚒
Meteorologists blame a \"perfect storm\" of sustained Santa Ana winds and record-low humidity. With climate scientists drawing parallels to Australia's 2020 bushfires, many Angelenos are asking: \"Is this our new normal?\" 🌎
