Fire authorities are struggling to put out fires as strong winds are forecast amid the spread of simultaneous wildfires in Los Angeles, the largest city in the western United States.

The National Weather Service issued a red warning until the 15th, saying that dangerous fire weather conditions continue due to gusts up to 113 kilometers per hour, dry atmospheres, and very dry bushes.

Currently, 14,000 firefighters from California, nine other states and Mexico, 1,300 fire engines, and 80 aircraft are being deployed to fight wildfires.

As more than San Francisco has burned so far, 16 people have died, 16 are missing, and more than 12,000 buildings have been destroyed, weather company AccuWeather estimates economic losses to reach 221 trillion won.

About 30 people have been arrested for looting as crimes of breaking into empty houses or shops and stealing goods have also been rampant while numerous residents have been evacuated.
