Key Reasons Behind Rapid Spread of LA Wildfires

Credited from: BBC

  • Rapid Growth of Vegetation: Heavy rainfall linked to El Niño led to abundant vegetation that later dried out, becoming fuel for wildfires.
  • Santa Ana Winds: Powerful, hot winds from the California Desert contributed to the fast spread of fires and can reach speeds over 100 mph.
  • Firebrands: Strong winds carry embers from the fires, igniting new fires and causing greater damage to structures.
  • Topography Challenges: The hilly landscape of LA allows fires to spread quickly uphill, complicating evacuation efforts.
  • Climate Change Impact: Although the direct link is unclear, changing climate conditions are worsening wildfire risks.
