The fire in Los Angeles (LA) is testing America's 'super power'. The fire that has been burning for eight days in the city of the world's most prosperous people is raising questions on America's capability. America has not been able to extinguish this fire despite taking help from neighboring countries - Canada and Mexico.

The winds in the Los Angeles area started increasing again from Monday night, and it is expected to reach a speed of 120 km/h by Tuesday evening. It is believed that the fire will spread due to this. But the administration is also on high alert.

Christine Crowley, chief of the Los Angeles city fire service, who has been trying to douse the fire for eight days, says it is not yet known how much more damage will occur.

The fire has not been extinguished yet

However, the administration has also alerted other nearby cities of California with dry winds about the danger of fire. The forest fire first engulfed Palisades on January 7, and even after the eighth day, the fire has not been extinguished. The fire has caused the most damage in Palisades and Eaton. 24 people have died and 12 are missing in these two areas.

The fire has devastated 23,713 acres of Palisades. Only 14 percent of the fire here has been extinguished. Whereas the fire is burning 14,117 acres of Eaton. Out of this, only 33 percent of the area has been extinguished.

The fire at the third location has affected 799 acres of land but it has been extinguished up to 95 percent. The fire at the other three locations has been controlled. Those who have suffered losses are worried about their future.

Many people standing in front of their destroyed houses are also worried about their valuables. They feel that they may never be able to get back the resources they have collected over decades. They are also skeptical about government help.

People are also skeptical about the attitude of insurance companies. Fearing that the fire may spread to new areas, the administration is ordering people to leave their homes and go to safer places. In the latest order, 92 thousand more people have been asked to leave their homes.

America's most devastating disaster

California Governor Gavin Newsom has said that the Los Angeles fire could be the most devastating natural disaster in the history of America. If the loss of insured goods is assessed, then this fire has already come in the category of causing the most damage.

19 people arrested in various cases

Ten people have been arrested in cases of arson in the Los Angeles area and nine people have been arrested in cases of theft and robbery. California Senator Adam Schiff has said that Los Angeles has become a haven for robbers and this should be stopped.

Trump may visit after taking oath

It has been learned that President-elect Donald Trump is considering visiting Los Angeles immediately after taking oath on January 20. Trump has reacted strongly to the measures taken to deal with the fire and has blamed California's Democrat Governor Newsom for the devastation.
