Los Angeles- The three -week battle to fight the two fatal flashes that destroyed thousands of homes and countless lives reached an important recovery milestone on Saturday.
The containment means that the flame is still smoldering, but the firefighter is surrounded by the entire footprint of the fire, which can prevent it from spreading. But the flame is another important step to eventually meet their end Mise, but their catastrophic impact lasts for many years for South California.
The fire began on January 7 with one of the most powerful Santaana -style events in the northern part of Los Angeles, and has been attacked by the area for over 10 years, reaching 100 miles per hour.
Such a powerful breeze spread the flame at a speed of breaking the flame, burned the whole neighborhood, and caused mass evacuation. So far, the number of deaths remains 29.
The Eaton Fire, located north of Passadena, burned more than 14,000 acres. It destroyed nearly 10,000 homes, companies, schools, and other structures, causing at least 17 identified deaths.
The Parisade Fire burned almost 24,000 acres between Malib and Santa Monica, southwest of the Eaton Fire. Destroyed nearly 7,000 structures, including historical places, caused at least 12 identified deaths. Currently, the two fires are ranked as the worst mountain fire in the history of Southern California.
Pacific Coast Highway will resume on Sunday
The fire closed some of the iconic Pacificost Highway. This is an important transport artery that runs in the Parisade district, the name of the Parisade fire. The road area was wrapped in flames and smoke, led to the road closure by law enforcement officers.
However, according to California Highway Patrol, the PCH will resume on Sunday in another milestone for the recovery of the fire.
Palisades and Eaton shine light on another type of infrastructure, Los Angeles Water System. When firefighters worked to fight rapidly growing flames, they restricted low -water pressure and access to water, hindering efforts to eradicate the fire.
JANISSEQUI Mayons, a CEO and chief engineer of the LA station water and the power bureau (LADWP), has a water pressure at Palisades, which is supplied by three water tanks, including 1 million gallons, respectively, and tanks the tanks in the morning in the morning. He said he was. The fire has begun.
This was an example of how Los Angeles' water supply was affected. Wildfire。 However, on Friday, Governor California, Gavin New Sam, announced that five of the nine water systems influenced by the wildfire were completely operating.
“We will work closely with the local water system to return clean water to the community as quickly and safely as possible,” he posted on his previous Twitter.
The road to recovery is long for those influenced by California's mountain fire.
Many residents have evacuated because they have lost their homes.
Pets, livestock, and other animals were also affected, and some were lost or remained during the evacuation, and experienced serious burns and other injuries due to wildfires.
From a property perspective, the global data analysis company Verisk estimates that the insured person will reach at least $ 28 billion, and fire disasters are the most expensive events in the United States.
The victims of the Fire and their neighbors must also compete with the other elements of their mother.
As you can see in last week's rainfall event, the water caused by the storm could not be absorbed, so in the burning skirt area, landslides, debris flow, and floods are caused.
Rain is very needed in dry Southern California, but as the area that recovers from the wildfire recovers, it may continue to present other dangers.
