flag Los Angeles wildfires, killing 24 and destroying over 12,000 structures, highlight ember spread as key.

flag Los Angeles wildfires, which have killed at least 24 and destroyed over 12,000 structures, show that most home destruction is due to airborne embers rather than direct flames. flag Embers, or firebrands, are burning debris ranging from tiny specks to larger chunks, carried by strong winds that spread fire to unburned areas. flag Researchers are studying these embers to better predict wildfire spread and develop home protection measures.
