On May 16, local time, a wildfire in Los Angeles, the United States, reached 520 hectares. More than 1,000 people were affected and evacuated, and more than 130 households were at risk of spreading the fire.
The Los Angeles Fire Department stated that the fire started on the evening of the 14th local time. The fire spread due to local dry weather and strong winds.
As of the 16th, firefighters have not been able to contain the fire.
Climate scientists said last week that California has entered the dry season and the risk of wildfires in many areas is "extraordinarily high."
