The latest wildfire in the Los Angeles area started late Monday in a dry riverbed in Oxnard, about 55 miles northwest of Los Angeles. 👉 Forecasters said wind gusts in Los Angeles and Ventura counties could hit about 70 to 110 kilometers an hour, with the fires also boosted by low humidity. The same conditions are expected to continue into Wednesday. The winds could strengthen parts of the two major blazes that are still burning in Los Angeles County, undermining the incremental gains that firefighters have made in controlling the fires or igniting new ones. Authorities said one of the blazes, the Palisades fire, was larger than 9,300 hectares but only 17% contained as of early Tuesday, while the Eaton fire, containing more than 5,600 hectares, was 35% contained. #California #Fire #reels #videography #voanews https://www.voanews.com/a/california-firefighters-better-prepared-amid-wind-fueled-extreme-fire-threat/7935943.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 nearly 50 languages to an estimated weekly audience of more than 354 million people.
