Mexican firefighters have arrived in California to help battle wildfires that have devastated large areas of California. Two aircraft carrying the crews as well as humanitarian aid landed in Los Angeles on Saturday where they were greeted by California Governor Gavin Newsom. Firefighters raced Saturday to cut off spreading wildfires before potentially strong winds return that could push the flames toward the world-famous J. Paul Getty Museum and the University of California, Los Angeles, while new evacuation warnings left more homeowners on edge. Light breezes were fanning the flames, but the National Weather Service warned that strong Santa Ana winds could soon return. Those winds have been largely blamed for turning the wildfires into infernos that leveled entire neighborhoods around the city where there has been no significant rainfall in more than eight months. The total of confirmed fatalities stands at 16 victims, with officials worried that more bodies will be found by searchers and cadaver dogs in the neighborhoods that have been leveled by the blazes. https://www.voanews.com/a/higher-winds-threaten-to-spread-los-angeles-wildfires/7934058.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
