Stephen Edwards lost his Pacific Palisades home in the fire that has been burning through the neighborhood for a week and a half .

A second house that he owns in the same area was split in two because of a landslide that caused his neighbor's house to slam into it.

The risk of landslides rises in the months and years after wildfires because flames kill the vegetation that keeps hillsides stable.

“I mean, we’re lucky to be out, you know?” he said. “We’re lucky to be safe, and my wife’s safe, my daughter’s safe, and my dogs are safe. That’s the biggest thing.”.
