During a recent news conference, Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley issued a warning to residents in the Los Angeles County area to be prepared for the potential return of strong winds and the associated fire risk. Crowley emphasized the presence of a significant amount of unburned, dry fuel with low humidity, coupled with the expected return of Santa Ana winds next week.
Crowley highlighted the danger posed by flying embers from wildfires, which can travel long distances and have the potential to destroy homes over a mile away. To mitigate this risk, she urged the community to take proactive measures to safeguard their homes and increase their chances of survival in the event of a wildland fire.
