Los Angeles is still facing the dangers of a new weather warning from dangerous winds, headed north of the city and possibly take even further down another direction of blazes.
As citizens try to salvage whatever remains of a ruined existence, inquiries enter into the minds of people whether these authorities tried enough to save the city with how it all began.
The cause of the Californian fire might never be known because it is “likely to remain unknown,” according to the US National Weather Service in Los Angeles, which assigns 95 percent of all California wildfires as being ‘human-caused’ but very rarely refers to it as arson.
Simple, innocuous actions like a chain dragging behind a truck causing a spark or a discarded cigarette end can be all it takes to start the trail of destruction.
But without climate change and the weather extreme Los Angeles has experienced in the last couple of years, would the fire ever have started at all?
