Powerful wildfires upended life for residents in Maui, Hawaiʻi, in 2023. In early 2025, the Eaton and Palisades fires caused similar devastation in greater Los Angeles. Years have passed since the fires were contained but researchers are still trying to understand the lasting effects of these disasters. Co-host Kiley Price discusses those efforts with Inside Climate News reporter Keerti Gopal, who has chronicled the recovery in Maui, and contributor Nina Dietz, who has covered the health impacts of the fires in Los Angeles.
