- 1New fire burns through Woolsey Fire scar just eight years later●Just 8 years after Woolsey, a new fire ignites in its scar — too soon for both residents and plants
A new wildfire has ignited within the burn scar of the 2018 Woolsey Fire in the Los Angeles area, raising alarm among residents and ecologists. Experts say eight years is too short a time for native vegetation and recovery efforts to have restored the landscape, and too soon for communities still rebuilding to face another blaze.
