Bangabarta Bureau: Wildfires in Southern California, America, are still raging. Los Angeles, America’s second largest city, has become a war-torn city. The fire has been spreading panic there for eight days. Firefighters are still facing a big challenge in the dry wind that has not stopped. In the meantime, they are afraid that the fire will spread again from the hot coals in the strong wind. The houses and streets of the city are covered in the powder of Fos-Chek used to prevent the fire. The smell of burning, incinerated ash and chemical powder combined together make the air in the entire area extremely unhealthy.
Los Angeles has been devastated by the worst disaster in history. The local fire department has said that it has not been possible to control even half of the burning fire. However, it has been reported that the work has been accelerated by the arrival of firefighters from outside. The terrible fire has forced millions of people to leave their homes and move to safer shelters. Despite the damage, thousands of residents are looking forward to returning to their areas in Palisades and Eaton.
The fire has already consumed an area the size of Washington, DC. About 6.5 million people are under serious threat. So far, 25 people have died. The Palisades fire west of Los Angeles has burned 23,713 acres. The wind speed is forecast to be 70 miles per hour or 112 kilometers. The humidity in the air is low. There has been no major rain in the entire region for 9 months. Meteorologists say that in the current situation, the areas affected by the fire are at risk of ‘fire tornadoes’. This is a dangerous situation where wildfires create different weather conditions.
