Los Angeles Fires... Widespread Damage and Efforts to Contain Ongoing
AlEtihad (nprofile…yefn)
The California Fire Department has been battling a series of large fires in the Los Angeles area, which have killed seven people and destroyed at least 10,000 buildings from the coast to Pasadena. The fires, which have forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes, were fueled by strong winds that have been blowing since Tuesday. The winds, known as the "Santa Ana" winds, are common in the fall and winter in California, but this week they have reached unprecedented levels since 2011. Firefighters have been working to contain the blazes, which have spread across a wide area, including Pacific Palisades and Altadena. The fires have also threatened the famous Hollywood film industry, with several major studios and landmarks affected. The fires have been so intense that they have forced the evacuation of the Universal Studios theme park in Hollywood. The Academy Awards ceremony, which was scheduled for February 17, has been postponed to February 19. The fires have also disrupted the production of several films and TV shows. Many Hollywood stars have been forced to evacuate their homes, including Mark Hamill, one of the stars of the Star Wars franchise, who tweeted that he had left his home in Malibu on Tuesday. The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has declared the fires a national emergency and has pledged federal support to help fight the blazes. He has also canceled a trip to Italy and will instead visit California to assess the damage and provide support to those affected.
