Los Angeles is the land of dreams, being known for its gorgeous palm-tree-lined streets and breathtaking mountain views. But disasters happen even in such paradise, and at the beginning of 2025, the city was devastated by the scary wildfires, which were significantly intensified by the wind.
These fires were monstrous and even though things seem better now, there are still a lot of affected places where firefighter are doing their best to save lives. The cracking sound of flames leaped across the dry brush and into the neighborhoods. The sky looks orange, creating an apocalyptic scene and the smell of smoke is still hanging in the air for miles.
Thousands of people, including some of the most famous names in Hollywood, watched helplessly how their homes were swallowed by the fire. The exact cause of this disaster is still being investigated by the authorities, but officials have blamed the extreme drought conditions, combined with the supersized Santa Ana winds. These winds are dangerous because can carry embers over long distances, sparking new fires far from the original source. The gusts nearing 100 mph contributed to the spread of fires, forcing around 400,000 people to evacuate their homes.
Although natural elements were a major factor, human activity also played a role in the disaster. The growth of urban developments into areas prone to fires raised the chances of extended fires. Furthermore, early reports hint that some of the fires might have resulted from carelessness or even intentional actions, though investigations are still underway to confirm the exact triggers.
