In the state of California in the western United States, wildfires continue in various places due to the effects of dryness and strong winds.

To date, the area burned to 1.25 million hectares, and state fire officials say more than 25 times more than the same period last year.

Wildfires have also occurred in the same western states of Oregon and Washington, killing 19 in California, 2 in Oregon, and 1 in Washington, at least 22 so far. A person has died.

On the other hand, smoke and ash generated by wildfires also flowed into urban areas, and in Los Angeles, urban buildings remained hazy and difficult to see even during the day.

Health officials are calling for refraining from exercising outside.

California's fire authorities have been calling on residents to remain vigilant, as large wildfires in the past have occurred frequently in September and October, although relatively cold days continue for some time.
