A massive forest fire that broke out near Los Angeles, California, is being observed from space. Satellite images clearly show the area of the fire and the large plume of smoke. The smoke has spread over a wide area due to the wind, affecting Los Angeles and surrounding rural areas.
The fire has engulfed over 12,000 acres, leading to the evacuation of more than a thousand residents to safe areas. Firefighting crews and special services are working vigorously to bring the fire under control.
The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning due to strong winds and low humidity levels. This fire could further worsen the ecological situation in California and cause serious damage to the local economy.
