Still Waters Posted August 23, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2020 US President Donald Trump has declared that wildfires burning through homes and devastating precious forestry in California are a major disaster and he has released federal aid. Over 14,000 firefighters are battling 585 fires that have now burnt nearly one million acres (400,000 hectares). Forecast high winds are threatening to drive flames into more populated areas as foul air blankets the state. At least six people have died and thousands have evacuated. Most of the destruction has been caused by three large fire complexes in mountainous and wooded rural areas. On Saturday, California Governor Gavin Newsom said the SCU Lightening Complex fire south and east of San Francisco is the third-largest in the state's history. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53877958 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
