Scots Valley: The fire in the California wilderness in America is spreading to about 1 million acres in just one week and there has been a huge fire incident on Sunday. In view of the forecast of strong winds due to weather activities, the administration is trying to prevent fire-related incidents.

Officials said the fire occurred at the CZU Lighting Complex in Santa Cruz Mountains, south of San Francisco, with officials saying their efforts were hampered by people who refused to pay attention to a safe place. There are also people facing cases of looting. County Sheriff Jim Hart of Santa Cruz said that 100 officers are patrolling and anyone who is not authorized to be involved in the rescue zone can be detained.

Hart said that "Until now we have been informed about many incidents of looting from the community people. In this regard, 8 people have been detained. The National Weather Service has warned of 'Red Flag' in drought-prone areas. According to this, there is a possibility of high temperature, low humidity and winds of 65 km per hour. As it has been learned that since August 15, there have been more than 12,000 lightning incidents across the state, due to which more than 650 places in the forests were set on fire. The fires raged in the forests and rural areas in and around San Francisco's Bay Area.
