00:14to see what's left of their homes.

00:21Certainly, we weren't prepared for something of this magnitude, and I think that they were
00:27so overwhelmed with the fires, so concentrated and so large in that area.
00:34With the high wind that we had, there was no possible way to fight it.
00:39The Palisades fire is the first and biggest of multiple fires that have been raging around
00:44Los Angeles for two days.
00:46It's still coming out of the debris.
00:49I am completely surrounded by homes that have been burnt down.
00:54Here, take a look on the others that have been almost meltdown.
00:58Now, it looks like a war zone with all the cars burned.

01:28It's so weird.
01:30It's a painful walk for Darza, realizing that most of her neighborhood is gone.

01:38Every year, there's an Indian restaurant there.
01:40Every year, we celebrate our Christmas holiday, and this was my 12th year.
01:45Several of her clients and friends have also lost their homes.
01:49As a trauma therapist herself, she says it will take a long time for her community.
01:54It's one of those things that there's not so much one can do.
01:57It's just really a grieving process.
01:59You have to allow the grieving.
