There is a terrible fire in Los Angeles, AmericaIt is becoming difficult for America to extinguish this fireLos Angeles mayor cuts fire brigade funds
Washington: Fire is wreaking havoc in the forests of Los Angeles, America. 5 people have died and ‘Superpower’ America is proving unsuccessful in extinguishing them. The biggest reason for this is believed to be lack of money. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing funding cuts. In fact, it has been revealed that Mayor Bass had cut the fire brigade department’s budget by $17.6 million before the fire. They allocated this money for the homeless population, which went largely unspent. Since then, newly elected President Donald Trump has become enraged. Trump is demanding the resignation of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Apart from this, the question is arising that if America does not have enough money to extinguish the fire in its forests, then why is it pouring money like water into Ukraine? President Joe Biden is going to announce an amount of $ 500 million on Thursday before leaving power. This will be the last military aid package given to Ukraine by the Biden administration. Till now America has given billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine.
Trump is demanding resignation
Newly elected President Donald Trump has been attacking Los Angeles Governor Gavin Newsom since the fire. He blamed ‘gross incompetence and mismanagement on the part of Joe Biden and Newsom’ for the fire. He claimed that California’s environmental policies, which divert fresh water to protect wildlife, have led to water shortages. Trump wrote, ‘I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to flow into California. He is responsible for this.
Attacking Trump, he wrote in another post, ‘Governor Gavin Newscom refused to sign the water restoration plan put before him, causing thousands of gallons of water from extreme rain and melted snow from the North to flood many parts of California. Could be streamed every day. These also include those parts which are currently burning.
Why did a terrible fire break out in the cold?
This fire in California is surprising the whole world, because it did not happen in summer but in cold. Amanda McKenzie, CEO of Climate Council, an organization working on the environment, said that the cause of this fire is climate change. He said, ‘We know this is a climate crisis. This fire is being seen after the worst summer in California. Due to climate change, rainfall has decreased and temperature has increased. Due to this the local vegetation became dry and flammable. For this reason it is becoming difficult to stop this forest fire.
