L.A. Wildfires: ABC7’s Dallas Raines On How We Got Here, What’s Coming Next, & What We Can Do For Each Other To Help Stop It Next Time


Big wind gusts are expected to hit LA again in the next few hours, potentially bringing more fires. ABC 7 News chief meteorologist has an unique POV

EXCLUSIVE: Dallas Raines wasn’t born in the City of Angels, but few Angelenos exemplify Southern California like the Georgia-bred ABC 7 News chief meteorologist, especially in times of extreme weather like the hurricane force winds and raging wildfires that have cut a seemingly unprecedented destructive swath through the region this past week. “This is one of the most beautiful places in the world, but these winds and fires are things that we are going to have to deal with forever,” the 40-year resident of LA says bluntly Monday, as he prepares to go on-air for the West Coast flagship of Disney-owned ABC. DEADLINE: You know, a concern I see, and I would never want to understate the tragic losses this past week, how we all know someone, several people who have lost everything, some who have died, and the amazing work of the LAFD and other First Responders, but it is also true that these fires are not new to Southern California.
