The authorities of the state of Los Angeles, USA, announced that 58,000 buildings are at risk from the fires and evacuation orders for about 153,000 people.
According to the chief of the fire department, “I tried a lot to explain to city officials how short the number of staff, resources and funding is at the Los Angeles Fire Department.”
