With thousands of evacuees expected to return to devastated neighborhoods this week, officials have offered tips on how people can stay safe when they go home to what may still be dangerous conditions, even if the fire is gone from their area. Officials on Sunday noted evacuee frustration at not being able to get to their homes, even if the fire emergency seems to be over in their neighborhood. They stressed that downed power lines, gas leaks and smoldering fires mean the devastated areas are very unsafe for re-population.
Agencies across LA County are using the calmer wind day to prepare for another expected Santa Ana wind event on Monday that could stymie efforts to contain the fires.
