"Out-of-control fire hoses are wreaking havoc in Los Angeles."

13.01.2025 14:20

The ongoing fires in Los Angeles are being unexpectedly spread to different areas due to fire whirls (firenadoes) created by strong winds, and the scale of the disaster is increasing. Officials have stated that the fire is creating its own weather system and that the next 48 hours are critical, warning that the situation could spiral out of control if the winds intensify.

The fires in Los Angeles are reaching even more dangerous levels with a new natural phenomenon called "fire tornadoes." These tornadoes, formed by the effects of strong winds, carry flames to unexpected areas, causing the fire to spread.

According to Lisa Thompson, the head of the Los Angeles Meteorology Department, the fires are now creating their own weather system. Thompson stated, "The rising air due to extreme temperatures creates a vortex similar to a tornado by pulling in the surrounding air. This situation makes it difficult to control the fire."

Pasadena Fire Chief Chad Augustin emphasized that the next 48 hours are critical. Augustin said, "If we can get through Wednesday night without issues, we may be able to bring the fire under control. However, if the wind increases in intensity, the situation could spiral completely out of control."

Meteorology experts warn that wind speeds could reach up to 110 kilometers per hour. This speed could also increase the rate at which the fire spreads. Cal Fire Battalion Chief Brent Pascua noted that crews are battling not only the visible flames but also embers carried by the wind that could cause new fires.

Authorities announced that they will not allow residents to return to evacuated areas until at least Thursday for public safety. Only 13% of the fire in the Palisades area has been brought under control so far. Efforts in the region are ongoing without interruption.
