Santa Ana winds can bring disruptive impacts to daily life in Los Angeles and parts of southern California, but when coupled with wildfires they can escalate the situation rapidly, causing the fires to take hold and spread at great speed.

These strong and gusty east or north-easterly winds blow from inland towards the coast. They can occur numerous times throughout the year and have been known to happen on over 20 occasions during some years.

A Santa Ana event usually occurs during the cooler months, from late September to May and generally lasts just a couple of days, but on rare occasions can continue for up to a week.

They were saying the gusts of wind can carry burning embers for a mile its not a wonder it has spread so fast.
