Los Angeles Braces for Renewed Wildfire Threat with Forecast of Extremely High Winds
ai generated text
A series of wildfires is currently affecting Southern California, particularly in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The fires have already destroyed 12,000 structures and entire neighbourhoods, with some areas being evacuated. Strong winds are forecast to resume on Monday, with gusts of up to 112 kph expected in some areas, leading to a heightened risk of fire spread. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning, indicating a "particularly dangerous situation". Residents are being advised to take precautions to protect their homes and properties, such as hosing down roofs and filling air vents with tin foil. The situation is being described as "explosive" by authorities.
Red flag warnings are for the extreme of the extreme fire weather scenarios.
And if the folks behind me have anything to say about it, there'll be a special place in jail for you too.
This unprecedented natural disaster warrants an unprecedented response that will expedite the rebuilding of homes, businesses and communities.
It's one thing to see it on television. It's another thing to see it from the air. The massive destruction is unimaginable until you see it.
It's going to take more than six months to remove this debris.
I want to reassure you that your LAFD, all of our regional partners, every single agency that has come from up and down this state and outside of the state — we are ready.
The anticipated winds combined with low humidities and low fuel moistures will keep the fire threat in the LA region critical.
We know everyone wants answers, and the community deserves answers. ATF will give you those answers, but it will be once we complete a thorough investigation.
Our hearts go out to the people of California impacted by these devastating wildfires.
