None of the Olympic venues have been damaged by the still-burning fires that tore through Pacific Palisades and Altadena , an unincorporated community above Pasadena in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains .

The wildfires have killed over 20 people, destroyed over 12,000 structures and fouled the sprawling region's air quality.

The NFL , NBA and college basketball relocated or postponed games in the days after the fires began.

Los Angeles will host the World Cup , Super Bowl and the 17-day Olympics in a span of three years .

The region's ability to recover will be tested as it prepares to host the Super Bowl , the Olympics and the Paralympics .

"The advantage LA has is there's always another place to do whatever it is you wanted to do," Brown said.
