[Regnum] A powerful wildfire has come close to residential buildings in California. Eyewitness footage from October 17 has surfaced online.



The city of San Clemente is suffering the most. At least six homes have already burned there. Around 16,000 local residents have been evacuated.

Attempts to extinguish the fire from the sky are underway, but strong winds are complicating the situation. They fan and push the flames, making it difficult to properly extinguish the fire.

Earlier in May, a major wildfire broke out near Miami in southern Florida, on the border of Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Initially, the fire began in brush, but then began spreading rapidly due to strong winds.

In early May, a major fire broke out at a plastic recycling plant in Tennessee. A stay-at-home order was imposed in nearby areas due to air pollution from the combustion products.
