Residents of Los Angeles County who were forced to evacuate their homes due to the devastating wildfires in the area will have to endure at least another week before they can return to assess the damage and salvage what remains of their properties.
LA County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone announced on Thursday that plans are in place for the repopulation of evacuated areas, but it will not be safe for residents to return for at least another week. Marrone emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of residents before allowing them back into the affected areas.
