An unprecedented four-day fire siege that damaged or destroyed more than 12,000 structures and killed at least 11 people showed signs of finally easing Friday as winds lessened and firefighters began to contain the infernos. Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said crews were in their best position yet to get a handle on the blazes — though still with a long way to go.
She had decorated the outside of her front door with the sweetly shaped rocks she collected from her family's travels. She wanted to show her kids that the fire hadn’t taken those memories. For her family, the simple stone provided a much-needed message of hope. 'In this tragedy, there's some incredible compassion and support and love, and that's what I'm holding on to,' said Rogers, who is president of the Pacific Palisades Residents Assn.
