Os ventos secos e fortes que descem as montanhas em direção à costa do sul da Califórnia em janeiro este ano foram muito mais violentos, alimentando e espalhando incêndios florestais que atingiram a área urbana de diversos bairros da cidade
La gravité des feux de Los Angeles de ce début janvier s'explique par les vents violents, la sécheresse exceptionnelle de la saison, et l'urbanisation de zones autrefois végétalisées.
Los vientos secos y potentes que soplan desde las montañas hacia la costa del sur de California se combinan con el crecimiento de la población y de los tendidos eléctricos.
Where people live today also makes a difference when it comes to fire risk.
Fire is part of the ecology in much of California, but recent wildfires have caused much more damage than past burns of similar size. A fire ecologist points to two key factors: winds and population growth.
