Growing winds threaten progress made against California wildfires

Fire officials say the threat posed by returning Santa Ana winds is "about as bad as it gets" as they work to contain already burning fires and prevent new ones. Meanwhile, schools not damaged or destroyed by the fires are reopening.

There is no stopping this firestorm. It will not end by the hands of man. Pray for rain.

If only these politicians had a plan for a disaster like this. Newsom and Bass are completely worthless and unqualified

That area was a fire hazard zone 50 years ago. You couldn't get fire insurance there. The land is sliding in to the ocean. Nobody lived there because of the danger. They chose knowing. Like moving on to mt. Saint Helens

CA environmental laws make it challenging or impossible to clear out dead wood and other fuel to help prevent wildfires. At least the grasshoppers were protected.

5 kids and a dog in my rental?!? No way!

I feel so bad for that family looking for a house.That's why people don't want to hear about celebrities. I feel for anyone who lost their home but families like this will struggle more.

LOL at 1:35! I didn't know Don Jr knew sign language.😂😂😂

I'm not an architect or engineer but they should rebuild all houses and structures made of concrete and install fire sprinkling system on roofs to deter flying ambers! This can prevent spreading of fire from neighbors to neighbors than using garden hoses.

Why can’t the police organize block by block visits of residents!? Instead of blanket ban!

How do you say the word "devastating" with a smile on your face?

[nea]

I think we're getting tired of hearing about these fires now.

[mariejane]

Officials said they were responsible for 24 deaths?? When did they say that?

[Johnny-tsr]

Governor nuisance needs to buy everyone a home that lost one
This is his fault all of it

[stevedumont]

To cut the firefighters budget is criminal. California cannot be considered a “rich” state if they can’t not afford to protect their citizens from imminent devastating consequences.

[mariejane]

Just put the trailers out like after Katrina what am I missing? You could also rent an RV. Plenty of them all over the Go to school online like Covid. Redirect mail to pick up only. Come on

Even though the residents of LA are widely known to be the most self absorbed, entitled and oblivious to world issues of all people in large metropolises of The West, I WILL STILL PRAY FOR THEM 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.

Question: I know its early but WHERE are they going to dump all the burned debris? Cars, ash, metals.

[jeris]

13 million people is just a number, doesn’t mean anything. You need to put that in perspective by telling us how many football fields 13 million people would cover 🏈

, ? , maybe install water 💧 towers in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mt and the Metro .And when the Santa Ana winds start spray water 💧 out of the towers and let the wind be water saturated .
