Weeks after wildfires erupt to have consumed parts of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, which consumed properties and lives, another fire disaster broke out on Wednesday, 22 January, in parts of northern Los Angeles.
Authorities in the United States of America revealed the ferocious flames devoured hillsides near Castaic Lake, which spread out and rapidly consumed more than 3,800 hectares in just a few hours after the fire erupts.
Nearly 31,000 people living in northern Los Angeles, which is closer to the city of Santa Clarita with a total of 56 km and about 35 miles within the lake, were said to have been ordered to be evacuated.
The wildfire may endanger visitors as the 2,800-square-kilometre park in the San Gabriel disaster mountains is closer to them, the United States Forest Service revealed.
However, in another development, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) has reportedly confirmed that both the two fire disasters are under control, following efforts to curtail it’s widespread to save lives and properties.
But sadly, from January 7 to date, we have lost about 16000 structures since the two fires broke out, as 28 people have died, while hecklers of land to the size of Washington, DC, are tragically lost, Cal Fire said.
As gathered, the economic implications of this disaster are worth more than $250 billion.
