Wildfires in California

Recently, a massive fire, known as the Palisades Fire, broke out in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The fire has already destroyed more than 1,100 hectares of land, and its rapid spread was aided by strong winds and dry weather.

On January 8, California declared a state of emergency. Three fires are raging in the area, including in an elite neighborhood popular among Hollywood stars.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden was forced to cancel his visit to Italy due to the large-scale wildfires.
