Wildfires have always been a part of nature’s cycle, but in recent years, they have taken on a new intensity. The recent wildfires in Los Angeles (LA) were no exception, with flames engulfing over 36,000 acres of land, destroying thousands of structures, and tragically claiming lives.

This wasn’t just another wildfire—it was a disaster that highlighted both the power of nature and the influence of human activity.

To understand the full story, we need to look at the causes, the devastating consequences, and the solutions that might prevent such tragedies in the future.

Wildfires in LA have natural causes, including the hot and dry weather that characterizes the region, as well as the infamous Santa Ana winds, which fan the flames and spread fires rapidly.
