Razmere katastrofe
Požar u Altadeni, koji je zahvatio 4.000 hektara, i dalje je potpuno van kontrole, iako su smanjeni vetrovi donekle usporili njegovo širenje, rekao je okružni vatrogasni komandant Entoni Marone. Kongresmenka Džudi Ču posetila je centar za evakuaciju u kojem je utočište našlo 1.000 raseljenih stanovnika i izjavila da je Altadena „potpuno devastirana“.
Gradonačelnica Los Anđelesa, Karen Bas, upozorila je da su „vetrovi i dalje istorijske jačine“ i nazvala situaciju „bez presedana“. Nacionalna meteorološka služba predviđa mogućnost „značajnog širenja postojećih i novih požara“ tokom četvrtka i petka, što dodatno pojačava osećaj hitnosti u borbi protiv ovih vatrenih stihija.

Los Angeles is on fire and it’s getting worse. If Gavin Newsom didn’t waste so many billions on illegals then maybe there’d be more resources available to manage this disaster.pic.twitter.com/Et5Bn23PFv

2. This is by far the craziest video from the fire in Los Angeles. This guy is filming huge walls of fire surrounding a house they're in, and there's another person and a dog. pic.twitter.com/2ofoKmNXz5
