What happens when wildland fire reaches the city?

NPR News Headlines - Mon, 01/13/2025 - 16:09

"Wildfire" is the word we tend to use when we talk about what Los Angeles has been dealing with the past week.
But Lori Moore-Merrell, the U.S. Fire Administrator for the Federal Emergency Management Agency used a different word, when she spoke to NPR this morning.

She described a "conflagration." Saying they're not wildland fires with trees burning. They're structure to structure fire spread.

They may have started at the suburban fringe, but they didn't stay there. Which prompts a question: what happens when fire meets city?
