The president of California Professional Firefighters has issued a warning to tourists amid the wildfires raging in Southern California. Brian Rice, the union president, emphasized the dangers of trying to get a closer look at the wildfires.
Rice urged tourists to refrain from sightseeing in the affected areas. He highlighted the toxicity of the smoke produced by the wildfires, describing it as a 'toxic soup.' He explained that the smoke is not just a result of burning brush but also includes harmful substances from burning homes.
