Los Angeles prepares for a challenging week as strong winds are set to blow across the region, increasing the possibility of wildfires and complicating current firefighting operations. The National Weather Service issued high wind advisories with gusts up to 50-60 mph expected in some places, mainly along foothills and canyons.
Firefighters are already battling several fires that are fueled by dry vegetation and warm temperatures. Winds could make fire behavior worse, making containment harder and raising the chances of new starts.
Authorities are warning people in fire-prone areas to be vigilant, tie up loose outdoor items, and prepare for evacuations. Utility companies are also monitoring the situation closely and might proactively cut off power in some areas to prevent electrical equipment from sparking fires. Follow further updates as the authorities continue to closely monitor the situation and mobilize resources to protect communities from the looming threat.
