By Kathleen Reddington • • 4m ListenIt’s been nearly six months since the Thomas fire destroyed hundreds of homes in Ventura and Santa Barbara, including the iconic Hawaiian Village apartment complex just west of Ventura’s City Hall.

We take a look at where those people are now and how their lives have changed.
