 3.7-magnitude earthquake strikes California amid ongoing wildfires


A 3.7 magnitude earthquake has struck California, the United States, adding to the stateā€™s ongoing tough challenges with worsening wildfires.

This comes as Los Angeles continues to fight raging wildfires, which were allegedly started by an arsonist who has since been arrested.

Mail Online reports that the tremor was detected near the San Francisco Bay Area at 7:02 am PT, with its epicentre approximately five miles southwest of the Golden Gate Bridge and two miles west of the Great Highway.

The quake was followed by a 2.2 magnitude aftershock four minutes later and a 2.5 magnitude tremor six minutes after the initial hit.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that more than 5,000 people in the area felt the shake, and the number of reports continues to grow.

This seismic activity occurred about 350 miles away from the Los Angeles area, where wildfires have caused widespread destruction.

ā€œI ordered city government into action immediately this morning, and our first responders have been out across the city ensuring the safety of our residents.

ā€œWe have also been sharing information and giving people the tools to protect themselves and their families in an event like this,ā€ Mayor Daniel Lurie commented on the situation.

Despite the tremors, no injuries or damage have been reported from Fridayā€™s earthquake.

The USGS had detected a 3.0 magnitude earthquake the day before, disrupting San Franciscoā€™s Muni subway service.

Many reported that the quake lasted only a second.
