The massive forest fire in LA County has caused massive destruction. So far, 10 people have lost their lives in this fire and about 1 lakh 80 thousand people have been ordered to move to safer places immediately. The fire is spreading rapidly, making the situation critical.

Thousands of structures feared destroyed

According to the local administration, more than 5,300 structures (houses, buildings and other properties) are feared to have been destroyed in this massive fire so far. Due to the intensity of the fire and strong winds, it has become extremely difficult to control it. Rescue teams are constantly monitoring the situation and are engaged in relief work.

In view of the increasing danger of fire, thousands of residents of LA County have been ordered to compulsorily evacuate the area. The administration has appealed to the people to leave for safe places as soon as possible and cooperate in the evacuation process.

Rescue and relief work

* Deployment of firefighters - Hundreds of firefighters have been deployed to control this fire.

* Air rescue operation - Efforts are being made to control the fire with the help of helicopters and air tankers.

* Establishment of relief camps - Relief camps have been set up for the residents who have been ordered to evacuate the area, where food, water and medical facilities are being provided.

Strong winds pose a challenge

The local Meteorological Department has reported that the fire is spreading rapidly due to strong winds and dry weather. Winds blowing at a speed of 40-50 miles per hour are becoming a big challenge in controlling the fire. Officials fear that if the situation does not improve soon, more damage may occur.

Residents' troubles

Due to this disaster, the residents of LA are facing huge problems. Thousands of people are forced to leave their homes and are afraid of losing their lifelong property. Apart from this, electricity and communication services have also been affected, which has increased the difficulties of the local residents.

Government's step

The US government and the local administration have directed to speed up the relief work in view of the seriousness of the situation. Along with this, assurance has been given to provide all possible assistance to the people affected by the fire. Various relief agencies and voluntary organizations are also helping in this work.

This massive fire in LA has caused great devastation, in which many lives have been lost so far and thousands of people have become homeless. Firefighters and the administration are engaged in handling the situation, but the challenge has increased due to strong winds and adverse conditions. The government and the local administration have to work together and fast, so that the lives and property of the people can be protected.

In hilly, upscale Pacific Palisades, home to Hollywood stars like Jamie Lee Curtis and Billy Crystal who lost houses in the fire, officials have placed the origin of the wind-whipped blaze behind a home on Piedra Morada Drive, which sits above a densely wooded arroyo.

While lightning is the most common source of fires in the U.S., according to the National Fire Protection Association, investigators were able to rule that out quickly. There were no reports of lightning in the Palisades area or the terrain around the Eaton fire, which started in east Los Angeles County and has also destroyed hundreds of homes.
