ITV1’s “Tonight” returns to Los Angeles this Thursday, not for the glitz and glamour, but for a sobering look at the aftermath of the devastating wildfires that ravaged the area. In “After the Inferno: LA from the Ashes,” reporter Romilly Weeks revisits the people and places she encountered during the immediate crisis, offering a first-hand account of the long road to recovery.
Weeks examines the day-to-day struggles faced by residents, workers, and business owners as they attempt to piece their lives back together. The report considers the financial toll of the disaster, the emotional scars left on the community, and the ongoing efforts to rebuild. It also raises the troubling question: is Los Angeles truly prepared for the next inevitable blaze? Scientists suggest that these catastrophic fires may only be the start of a worrying trend.
“Tonight” airs Thursday, 1 May at 8:30 PM GMT on ITV1.
