Wildfires Ravage Both US Coasts, Threatening Homes and Wildlife
Firefighters in California and New York battle extensive wildfires, with weather conditions providing temporary relief but future risks looming.
- Over 130 structures have been destroyed by the 'Mountain Fire' in Southern California, with nearly 90 more damaged.
- A shift in weather, including increased humidity and calm winds, has aided firefighting efforts in California, allowing control of about 20% of the fire.
- Despite significant property damage, no fatalities have been reported, although ten individuals suffered minor smoke inhalation injuries.
- New York City and surrounding areas, usually spared from such fires, are experiencing unusual drought conditions leading to multiple fires.
- Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, with potential weather changes that could exacerbate fire conditions expected by Tuesday.
