Los Angeles Fire: The fire spreading from forests to cities in Los Angeles has proved devastating. The fire has not been completely controlled yet. Wherever the fire broke out, that place has been completely reduced to ashes. The fire has caused massive damage. A total of 27 people have died so far in the fire, while many are missing. No clue has been found about the missing people. More than 22 thousand houses have been burnt due to the fire.

Strong winds increased the problem

Amidst the devastation caused by the fire, the weather has once again increased people’s worries. The return of strong winds responsible for spreading the fire has further increased the danger. In some places, winds are blowing at a speed of 88 miles (142 kilometers) per hour, which once again creates the danger of the fire breaking out.

fire may increase

“The fire can grow explosively. So this is a particularly dangerous situation,” Ariel Cohen of the National Weather Service (NWS) told AFP. Officials said they have already deployed engines and fire brigades to at-risk areas.

“I’m confident that we will be prepared for the worst possible situation over the next few days,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass told reporters. The largest blaze, the Palisades Fire, was 59 percent contained as of Monday. The Eaton Fire, which destroyed a large portion of the Altadena area, is 87 percent contained.

Donald Trump will visit

Donald Trump, who was sworn in as US President on Monday, has said that he will visit the fire-ravaged areas at the end of the week. After taking oath as the 47th President, Trump again took a dig at the Democratic leadership of California. He said that we are seeing that the fire from several days ago is still burning tragically, and there is no way to save it. “We can’t let that happen,” he said.
