[Starmix]

According to a recent report, residents of the Los Angeles area faced a third consecutive day of strong wind warnings and remained at risk for new fires on Wednesday, more than a week after devastating blazes began tearing through Southern California.

The report said that the most dangerous fire conditions that forecasters warned of, including gusts of at least 30 miles an hour, had not materialized by midmorning.

The report added that on Tuesday, weaker-than-predicted winds allowed firefighters to make progress against the largest blazes, and to tame or extinguish new, smaller ones.

It is crucial if the strong winds continue, it will trigger another forest fire, The California government already has a big loss due to damages to infrastructures and properties. My there will be a sudden storm to come to water the fire.

That's nature for you strong winds always heighten the fire risks. People needs to keep a safe distance

 

[eLdavis]

Yes, they need to start taking preventive measures to ensure that no lives are lost in case anything happens.

 

[Starmix]

There are no more residents near the forest fire, all evacuated. What is worse is the devastations of properties and infrastructures

Yes it's devastating, I do not watch the entire video. My heart aches seeing the wild forest gotten by fire ravagely. The losses cost a fortune.

It did and we do not know how long will it take to set things back to normal.

It may take years to normalise the area but the problem is, it seems the same scenario may occur once the trees grow back. It is better to control the number of trees. The ecosystem will not be affected much as long as there are backups like fruit trees.

 

[Augusta]

Well, anything that would help to avoid a repeat of this wildfire should be adopted

 

[Starmix]

The US government knows what to do to avoid the same fatal occurrence in Los Angeles unless the city government of LA does not take action. The LA Olympics will be held there. Perhaps 3 years from now vast trees will be seen again in that area.

Trees retain moisture. I really don't understand why fire is catching because of trees.

 

[Augusta]

The bottom line is to put in precautionary measure so that this kind of disaster never occur again

It would happen because of the velocity of fire, while it slowly starts , the other trees also start to ignite the friction causing them to increase heat.

You are right that is how it would become intense and spread to other trees and before you know it, it is a wildfire

Yeah, the leaves alone will start to change their colors and movements, thus after some hours, they will all get caught with fire nonstop f there is no intervention.

Definitely right thst is how nature made it to be.We just need to be having a rescue team on stand by all the time

Let us hope that it will not happen ding the LA Olympics or else there will be no Olympics in that year if Forest Fire in LA would happen in 2028.

I think with the one that happened just of recent they would be mechanism put in place to avoid such in the future

Anyway, the trees will not be as big as those gotten by fire. I don't think that within three years, those trees will grow fast.

Hopefully nothing of such would happen again in years. it is to always be proactive to prevent such in the future
