How do the strong winds affect firefighting efforts and contribute to the spread of fires?

The return of strong winds creates a critical setback in wildfire containment efforts, highlighting the challenges of battling large-scale fires in dry conditions. Aerial firefighting becomes ineffective with high winds, as water is dispersed before reaching the ground, and wind-blown embers can easily ignite new fires. This situation underscores the devastating impact of extreme weather events on already vulnerable communities.",
