Opinion: After the Los Angeles fires stop burning, another grave risk to lives and property looms

Branches and bushes twirl in the air as a fire truck pulls away from the flames of the Hughes Fire on Hughes Lake Road in Castaic, a neighborhood in northwest Los Angeles County, California, January 22, 2025. A new wildfire erupted north of Los Angeles on January 22, exploding in size and sparking thousands of evacuation orders in a region already staggering from the effects of huge blazes. Ferocious flames were devouring hillsides near Castaic Lake, spreading rapidly to cover 5,000 acres (2,000 hectares) in just over two hours. The fire was being fanned by strong, dry Santa Ana winds that were racing through the area, pushing a vast pall of smoke and embers ahead of the flames. Evacuations were ordered for 19,000 people all around the lake, which sits around 35 miles north of Los Angeles, and close to the city of Santa Clarita.
