The most dangerous Tuesday: Drought and winds threaten to increase Los Angeles fires

The Los Angeles Fire Department has warned of dangerous weather conditions that could spark fires again in the city on the west coast of the United States of America.
Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said: “Dry conditions and fast winds pose an extreme fire risk in the greater Los Angeles area.”
Los Angeles Fire Chief Christine Crowley explained that the danger had not yet been averted, adding that “the vision is not clear, and we should not let our guard down.”
The US Weather Service forecast stronger winds again on Monday and Tuesday, and warned of a “severe” fire risk.
“Winds can cause fires to spread devastatingly,” she said.

24 deaths

The number of victims rose to 24 people as a result of the raging fires that swept across large areas in the US state of California.

While 16 people are still missing, with this number expected to rise, according to authorities.

California fires

The fires have burned more than 62 square miles, an area larger than the city of San Francisco, while the Palisades Fire is only 11% contained, while the Eaton Fire is 27% contained.

The Meteorological Service had issued “red flag” warnings due to the hazardous conditions expected until Wednesday.

Tuesday is the most dangerous day

Wind speeds reach 50 miles per hour, with gusts of up to 70 miles per hour in mountainous areas, making Tuesday the most dangerous day.
Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said they have not declined any offer of assistance.
This came at a time when fire brigades from various parts of the state and outside responded to support fire control efforts, and National Guard units participated alongside local fire brigades.
