Nearly 400 Oregon firefighters are in L.A. area helping with mop-up operations as more Santa Ana winds approach
With Santa Ana winds set to again hit the Los Angeles area, 21 Oregon strike teams made up of nearly 400 Oregon firefighters are putting out spot fires and embers, as winds could soon reach nearly 85 miles per hour and cause more blazes to break out.

So far, the strongest winds recorded during the fires were around 100 miles per hour, which is considered hurricane-force strength. The strong Santa Ana winds are still expected to remain throughout the week, which is not ideal for the ongoing fight to contain the fires.
