California, January 13 (UITV) – The massive fire in the forests of California has caused massive devastation in the city of Los Angeles. According to news agency Xinhua, the death toll from this fire rose to 24 as of Sunday, while many others are still missing. More than 12,000 buildings have been destroyed due to this fire, including houses, apartments, commercial buildings, etc. However, the fire has not been controlled so far and firefighters are constantly trying to control it.
Millions of people have been rendered homeless from their homes due to the fire. The affected areas also include Hollywood Hills, where the houses of many celebrities have also been reduced to ashes in the fire. Although government officials have not yet accurately estimated the damage caused by the fire, the economic loss from this disaster is estimated to be around $ 135 billion to $ 150 billion.
The fire situation forced President Joe Biden to cancel his foreign tour. At the same time, the newly elected President Donald Trump expressed his displeasure with the Governor of California, because not enough efforts were made by the government to control the increasing impact of the fire.
Strong winds and dry vegetation have been blamed for the increase in fire in Southern California. According to the National Weather Service, the winds weakened a bit during the day on Sunday, but the speed of the winds increased again at night, making it even more difficult to control the fire. This development has posed a big challenge for emergency services, as strong winds and dry weather are accelerating the spread of fire.
