The fires have scorched thousands of acres, decimating natural habitats and displacing wildlife. Ash rains down on the city, further polluting the air and creating health risks for residents, particularly those with respiratory conditions. Amid the destruction, glimpses of human resilience shine through. Volunteers and first responders risk their lives to save others, and communities rally together to support those affected. These acts of bravery and solidarity remind us of the strength found in unity during times of crisis.
