Rebuilding after California's fires is no quick fix. 

With over 10,000 buildings burned, the road to recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. 

First up, insurance adjusters—a tedious wait for inspections and payouts. This could stretch into months. 

Next hurdle? Permits. 

When thousands need rebuilding, the backlog is real and it's a slow-moving process. 

We're talking years, not months, before many can even think about breaking ground again. 

Hope, patience, and perseverance are key.
