Its reported that firefighting crews faced hot dry “devil winds” as they battled two giant wildfires raging at opposite ends of California, including a blaze in the north that is now one of the deadliest and most destructive in the state’s history.

Wind gusts of up to 113km/h from the so-called Santa Ana “devil wind,” were expected in the Los Angeles area where crews are fighting the Woolsey Fire.

“This is getting bad,” said meteorologist Marc Chenard, with the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland. “It’s nothing but bad news.”

The air-masses blowing across the western US deserts, including Death Valley toward the coast are expected to bring the sustained high winds at least through Tuesday, he said.

The Woolsey Fire doubled in size from Friday night into Sunday threatening thousands of homes after triggering mandatory evacuation orders for a quarter million people in the upscale beach city of Malibu as well as other communities in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

“Our firefighters have been facing some extreme, tough fire conditions that they said they’ve never seen in their lives,” said Los Angeles County Fire Chief Daryl Osby.

Governor Jerry Brown asked US President Donald Trump to declare a major disaster to bolster the emergency response and help residents recover.
