In just a few terrifying hours, the Mountain Fire became the most destructive blaze in Southern California in years.

But there’s no guarantee a blaze like the Mountain fire won’t happen again.

Police added the large cordon encompassing several nearby streets remained in place after the blaze was extinguished due to ongoing safety concerns, but this would be continually reviewed and adapted by experts.

The Magic Cottage, which supports children with additional needs and life-limiting illnesses, was the epicentre of the blaze which broke out in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, on Sunday night.

Other blaze hazards include fireworks, campfires, and smoking.
