Egypt Daily News – Indescribable scenes of fires that are difficult to control, causing 30,000 Americans to flee their homes in the city of Los Angeles, California, after the flames spread very quickly. Los Angeles residents fled deadly wildfires sweeping through the city’s suburbs on the West Coast, while firefighters struggled to contain the flames amid fears it could get worse.
Video clips transmitted by American media documented terrifying footage of fire consuming everything, as wind speeds in Southern California peaked at 100 miles per hour, as areas of the region witnessed wind speeds ranging from 50 to 80 miles per hour during the past two days.
In the Chatsworth area, which is located at the foot of the Santa Susana Mountains in California, trees fell and turned into a piece of flame, and residents remained anxiously watching the glowing horizon and smoke rising above the mountains, wondering if the forest fires would ignite again at night.
Patti Robinson, a local resident, documented her testimony about the fire after trees hit the roof of her house, saying: “Hearing these winds and knowing their impact and the damage they can cause makes me feel very afraid. My mind is panicking.”
The fires continue until Thursday
The US National Weather Service expected critical fire conditions to continue until Thursday, explaining: “Winds of up to 30 and 40 miles per hour, along with low relative humidity and dry fuels, increase the chances of fires.”
Los Angeles County Fire Chief SOS
Los Angeles Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said there are not enough firefighters to deal with the fires, adding: “All 29 fire departments in Los Angeles County are not prepared for this type of large-scale disaster, and there are not enough firefighters in Los Angeles County.” “For Los Angeles to deal with four separate fires of this size, the county was prepared for one or two wildfires, but not four, especially with these persistent winds and low humidity.”
