California has a fire area of tens of thousands of square kilometers. What caused it to burn?
Every year, we can hear the news about California mountain fires. Every time a mountain fire breaks out in California, it will sweep through Shan Ye at a very fast speed, causing a lot of people and property losses. The frequent occurrence of mountain fires in California is inseparable from the local topography. California has vast forests, high vegetation coverage and complex mountainous terrain, which not only provides conditions for the rapid spread of mountain fires, but also increases the difficulty of rescue and fire fighting personnel. Usually, the best way to stop mountain fires is to draw a barrier. However, the rapid spread of mountain fires in California and the wide area of fire have made it difficult for firefighters to control mountain fires, so they can only try their best to evacuate people to ensure public safety.
In addition to topography, California lies between mountains and oceans. South-central California has always been dry, with mountains and leeward slopes forming dry and hot winds. California has a Mediterranean climate. Long-term dry and hot wind meets the Mediterranean climate, which is easy to cause combustion. I have to mention the unique Santa Ana wind in California, which can reach hundreds of miles per hour. In this wind, it is almost impossible to put out the fire; Once the strong wind causes several fire spots, the spread of mountain fires will only be faster.
The fire area in California has always been very large, and it is very likely that natural geography and climate factors will lead to mountain fires. It is hoped that the local area can always be prepared for fire prevention and extinguishing, control mountain fires before the fire spreads, and reduce casualties.
