The US National Weather Service has warned of "particularly dangerous" conditions for wildfires in Los Angeles as dry Santa Ana winds of 72-112 km/h are forecast to develop and last from January 13 to January 15.
Winds of such intensity can easily cause extreme combustion in ongoing fires or turn any new spark into an "inferno".
Winds began to pick up on January 13, but the strongest and most worrying winds are expected today, January 14.
Los Angeles is dealing with what is considered one of the most devastating natural disasters in US history. The wildfires over the past week have killed at least 24 people and burned more than 10,000 hectares of forest and residential areas. More than 150,000 people have been evacuated.
Some 8,500 firefighters are involved in the effort to put out the fire. However, the firefighting work is facing many obstacles due to limited water resources and extreme weather.
