Returning Home and Recovering After the Fires
The City and County of Los Angeles have provided many resources to residents returning to their homes after these fires, please refer to the services and guides listed below.

• Resources for Residents Returning Home After Fires: A listing of various resources and services offered by governments and non-profits that can help you recover from this fire.
• Recovering from a House Fire: This checklist will help guide you through the early stages of returning home after a house fire.
• Practice Safe Clean-up After a Fire: Take precautions during clean-up following a fire. Ash, soot, dust, and other airborne particles may have been deposited inside and outside of homes and businesses. While ash from wildfires is relatively non-toxic and similar to ash that may be found in a home fireplace, it may be irritating to the skin, nose and throat. Exposure to ash in air might trigger asthmatic attacks in people who already have asthma.​
