UAE warns Emiratis of wildfires in Los Angeles
- 4 hours ago
The UAE mission in Washington has called on Emiratis in the US to take caution due to the wildfires that have swept into Los Angeles.
The mission stressed the need for Emiratis to follow safety instructions issued by the authorities, contact emergency numbers on 0097180024 or 0097180044444 and register in the Twajudi service.
Wildfires are ripping across parts of Los Angeles, leading to at least 11 deaths, burning down hundreds of buildings, and prompting evacuation orders for tens of thousands across the county.
The Kenneth Fire, which broke out near Victory Trailhead at the border of Ventura and L.A. counties last evening, has had forward progress stopped. It stands at 1,000 acres with 35% containment and no structures were destroyed.
Some 153,000 people remained under evacuation orders.
