The perfect storm of especially hot, dry weather and exceptionally strong winds that burned huge portions of the Los Angeles area also caused deadly damage in Baja California, the part of Mexico directly south of California.
On December 10, westward Santa Ana winds hit 46 miles per hour in Tijuana, killing two 15-year-olds trapped in their burning home. Then starting January 22, winds exceeded 50 miles per hour, and hundreds of wildfires burned 42 square miles near the cities of Mexicali, Tijuana, Ensenada, San Quentín, and Tecate. Thousands of people there live on hillsides as squatters without public services, while fire departments lack staff.
The problems of climate change and cuts to public workforces are international and respect no borders.
