Los Ángeles se apresura para contener los incendios forestales antes del retorno de los vientos
January 13, 2025 - Los bomberos de Los Ángeles han logrado avances en su batalla contra los incendios forestales, que han cobrado por lo menos 24 vidas, cuando se espera que vuelvan pronto los fuertes vientos que pueden reavivar el fuego.
Officials warned that after a weekend of relatively calm winds, the notoriously dry Santa Ana winds would pick up again from Sunday night until Wednesday, reaching speeds of up to 96km/h.
The LA County medical examiner updated the death toll on Sunday to 24, while officials said earlier at least another 16 remain missing.
Sixteen of the dead were found in the Eaton fire zone, while eight were found in the Palisades area.
The combined fires have destroyed thousands of homes and forced 100,000 people to evacuate, Reuters said.
