Los Angeles braces for new round of ‘strong winds’ as wildfires rage on

Firstpost  

Firefighters scrambled Sunday to make further progress against wildfires that have killed 16 people in the Los Angeles area as forecasters again warned of dangerous weather with the return of strong winds this week. Image- AFP Wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles on Sunday confronted the return of dangerous winds, as officials said that firefighters were ready to combat any new blazes whipped up by furious gusts. Renewed winds up to 50 miles per hour will keep the fire threat “critical” for days, and could fan flames and whip up embers from existing burn zones into new areas, firefighters warned Sunday. Los Angeles County Fire Department chief Anthony Marrone said his department had received resources including dozens of new water trucks and firefighters from far afield, and was primed to face the renewed threat. Newsom said the fires are likely to be the worst natural disaster in U.S. history “in terms of just the costs associated with it.” Active duty military personnel are ready to support the firefighting effort, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said in a series of Sunday television interviews, adding the agency has urged residents to begin filing for disaster relief.
