Since they began on January 7, the wave of fires forced the evacuation of more than 150,000 people and resulted in a tragic toll of at least 29 deaths.
Moreover, more than 16,000 structures were reduced to ashes, making this disaster one of the costliest in United States history.
Authorities are still searching for at least 14 missing persons, while the investigation into the causes of the fires continues.
Last weekend, a strong storm—the first in the region in eight months—brought heavy rains that helped extinguish the flames, allowing emergency teams to take full control of the fires.

Amid the tragedy, President Donald Trump took the opportunity to criticize the management of California Governor Gavin Newsom and claim credit for a supposed «water flow» that, according to him, helped contain the Los Angeles fires.
«Photo of the beautiful water flow I just opened in California. Today, 1.6 billion gallons and in three days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons.
Everyone should be happy with this hard-fought victory. If only they had listened to me six years ago, there would have been no fires!», Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
Last week, the president signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to increase the water supply in Southern California and the Central Valley to mitigate the effects of the fires.
