Why is the fire spreading instead of getting extinguished?
The fire in the forests of America has shocked the whole world. A record number of firefighters and rescue teams are engaged in extinguishing the fire. Efforts are being made to control the fire with helicopters and planes, but instead of extinguishing the fire, it is spreading rapidly. The reason for this is that it is becoming difficult to control the fire due to stormy winds.

The fire is also continuously spreading to different places due to the change in the direction of the winds. Rescue and rehabilitation work is going on in full swing. So far, thousands of people have been taken to safe places. Schools, community centers and other safe places have been prepared as emergency shelters.

It seemed as if someone had dropped an atom bomb….
Regarding this horrific fire in Los Angeles, the sheriff Robert Luna said that it seems as if someone has dropped an atom bomb in these areas. I am stunned by this situation, I am numb. We just wish that the death toll does not increase further. But looking at the kind of devastation that has been caused, we are not expecting any good news.

California’s mayor in the crosshairs
Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass is in the crosshairs of everyone for the ever-increasing fire in the city. She said in a press conference that right now our entire focus is on saving lives. When the fire is extinguished, it will be assessed where the mistakes were made and what could not be done.
