It has also emerged that many of the properties destroyed did not have fire insurance following a trend for private insurers to drop policies in areas with the most risk.

As the catastrophic wildfires continue to rage in Southern California, some Los Angeles residents are not waiting around to see if their city survives. Instead, they are packing up and moving across the country to the relative safety of the Northeast.
