Los Angeles: The fire that has spread from forests to cities in Los Angeles has proved to be devastating. The fire has not been fully controlled yet. Wherever the fire broke out, that place has completely turned into ashes. The fire has caused massive damage. A total of 27 people have died so far due to the fire, while many are missing. No clue has been found about the missing people. More than 22 thousand houses have also been burnt due to the fire.
Strong winds increased trouble
Amidst the devastation caused by the fire, the weather has once again increased people’s concern. 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 has once again created the danger of fire flaring up.
Fire can increase
Ariel Cohen of the National Weather Service (NWS) told AFP, “The fire can grow explosively. So this is a particularly dangerous situation.” Officials said they have already deployed engines and firefighters to at-risk areas.

What the Los Angeles mayor said
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass told reporters, “I believe we will be prepared for the worst possible situation in the next few days.” The largest fire, the Palisades Fire, was 59 percent contained as of Monday. The Eaton Fire, which devastated a large part 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 being sworn in as the 47th President, Trump again took a dig at California’s Democratic leadership. He said we are seeing a fire from several days ago that is tragically still burning, with no means of prevention. “We can’t let that happen,” he said.
