What caused the forest fire in California, USA?

Recently, a forest fire broke out in California. The fire has spread to residential areas. At present, five people have been killed and many others have been injured. One of the victims was a helicopter firefighter. The cause of the fire was a forest fire caused by lightning.

The recent situation of fire in 2020 looks like a cat's paw, a year full of disasters. Pneumonia in COVID-19 swept the world. For the United States, the country with the largest number of people infected with COVID-19's pneumonia encountered difficulties one after another, and the President of the United States was elected. This led to forest fires in California, and natural and man-made disasters broke out one after another. In 72 hours, California suffered tens of thousands of lightning strikes, resulting in nearly 300 fires in California. With the spread of fire, residential areas were destroyed and forced.

Among them, the famous Angelis forest, the land burned by fire has reached 7,000 hectares, not including the nearby residential areas, and the surrounding residents have to be forced to move, resulting in heavy losses. At present, California Governor newsome has declared a state of emergency in California, and all parties have mobilized available resources to stop the fire from spreading, and dispatched air and land to extinguish the fire and isolate it. But at present, although there are some effects, it does partially prevent the spread of the fire, but it is difficult to control the fire, and most areas still fall, which is still very helpless.

According to Jeremy, spokesman of the American Fire Department, what was the real cause of the fire? Rahn said that at present, the fire has caused extensive land damage and hurt the lives of local people, because the fire is large, extensive and complicated, lightning weather and strong winds help the fire spread, and the direction of the fire is even more uncertain. The most unpredictable situation is the shortage of disaster relief materials and fire fighting materials. The governor of California immediately declared a state of emergency in California to deal with emergencies. The cause of the fire points to lightning. Forest fires caused by lightning have caused nearly 400 fires, many of which directly hit residential areas. The situation is grim and the rescue operation is imminent.
