A fire station burned down in North Carolina, destroying a truck bound for California wildfires, officials said. The blaze ravaged Mills River Fire Department’s Station No. 2 early Friday, Jan. 17, according to a spokesperson for Henderson County, North Carolina.

Although the cause of each blaze has yet to be determined, they all burned in or near foothill communities amid gusty winds and dry air and vegetation.

First came the fires. Then, there was ash and contaminated water. Now, some survivors of the Southern California wildfires are dealing with outbreaks of norovirus and other stomach ailments at a shelter set up to help evacuees.

While areas of Los Angeles County are still under mandatory evacuation orders, Southern California gets a "much-needed" reprieve from fire weather conditions. But, the break will likely be short-lived as "dangerous fire weather conditions" are forecasted to pick back up again the following week,

California is years behind in implementing a 2020 law aiming to make it harder for homes to burn during a wildfire.

A recent rule change could cause a spike in insurance premium for homeowners across California, as the costs of the Los Angeles area wildfires are passed onto them in a way that was not allowed in the past.

Changes in California's Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) plan could mean higher expenses for homeowners after fires.
