California: Huge devastation due to horrific flames, UN chief expressed grief

Thousands of acres of land have been burnt in this fire so far, a large number of houses have been destroyed and firefighters are working to control these flames and prevent further incidents of fire. UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric issued a statement on Thursday. He said that the UN chief is shocked and saddened by the rapid spread of forest fires and the widespread destruction caused by them. He has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and expressed solidarity with the displaced people. Many of these people have lost their homes. So far, five people have been reported killed in this forest fire. More than a thousand people have been displaced and hundreds of buildings have been destroyed. According to America’s weather forecasting company ‘AccuWeather’, there is a possibility of a loss of more than 50 billion dollars in this disaster. The UN chief praised the fire fighters. Appreciated the courage and dedication of the personnel engaged in controlling the flames, who were able to protect the lives of the common people and control the fire in extremely ‘difficult circumstances’. Local officials have described this as an unprecedented, dangerous fire, which more than seven and a half thousand firefighters are trying to bring under control. Dry plants, vegetation, wood and hurricane-speed winds. These flames took a deep form. Out of six separate incidents of fire, it was not possible to control almost four of them. Due to lack of necessary resources and difficulty in reaching the affected areas, there has been a delay in extinguishing these flames. Preparation and prevention Precipitation levels in the months have been below average. This resulted in dry conditions and increased fire risk combined with a weather pattern called Santana winds. Santana winds blow across the mountains, causing temperatures to rise and humidity to drop, causing plants, leaves and vegetation to dry out. And ideal conditions are created for the spread of fire. The World Health Organization (WHO) stressed on adopting prevention strategies to reduce the incidence of forest fires and their impact. These include regular clearing of bushes in the forests, providing water supply for the fire brigade and testing the ability to control the flames, among other measures. Along with this, people should be evacuated safely in case of fire spreading. Evacuation planning is also important, and the situation in which such routes are blocked will also have to be taken into account.
