As flares spread across Los Angeles County, researchers seek to uncover the science behind what fuels the flames.
The first of the fires started in Pacific Palisades on Jan. 7 and has since burned over 23,000 acres, according to the Cal Fire website. Although evacuation warnings have been issued adjacent to the UCLA campus, no evacuation warnings or orders cover the campus itself as of 9:11 a.m. Tuesday.
