Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Los Angeles city authorities announced the number of victims and damages caused by deadly fires in this city in the latest report. According to these officials, the number of people who died in these terrible fires has increased to 11 people, but this number will increase with the arrival of rescue dogs in the affected areas.
Los Angeles Sheriff's Office stated that there are currently 6 large fires in different areas of Los Angeles, and announced that more than 100,000 people received immediate evacuation orders from the city and tens of thousands of people are in serious danger.
At the same time as reports were published about the reasons why firefighters are unable to contain the current fires, California Governor Gavin Newsom called for an immediate investigation into the severe reduction in fire hydrants at the height of this week's fires.
US President Joe Biden also described the current situation in the city of Los Angeles as a "war scene" and warned that the number of victims of these fires will increase.
CNN reported that the network's investigations show that a devastating combination of factors has pushed the situation beyond the city of Los Angeles' resources (and reduced the city's ability to fight these fires).
"Newsneshin" network reported in a conversation with local people affected in the city of Los Angeles that thousands of people's houses were destroyed and homeless in the wake of these deadly fires in this city.
According to the preliminary evaluations of the Los Angeles city expert, at least 100,000 buildings have been destroyed and neighborhoods have been completely razed to the ground.
According to the local authorities of the city, so far firefighters managed to put out 70% of the Hurst fire, 50% of the Kent fire, but the biggest fire, the Palisade beach fire, has only been contained by 8% and continues to progress. Firefighters said they expect the Eaton fire in Altadena to be substantially contained by tonight.
Some media have estimated the damages caused by this fire to be around 100 to 150 billion dollars.
