Devastating wildfire season! These products are in short supply in the United States and sales are skyrocketing!

According to comprehensive reports from foreign media, the west coast of the United States has suffered a devastating wildfire season, which has killed at least 33 people, left dozens missing, and left tens of thousands homeless . Many buildings have been burned, and black smoke has covered the sky, bringing deadly air pollution to the local area.

According to data from the U.S. National Fire Center, on the 12th, there were 97 large fires burning throughout the West . In addition to California, Oregon and Washington, there were 12 in Idaho and 9 in Montana . These huge wildfires are about to completely tear apart the West Coast.

The U.S. state of California is experiencing its worst wildfire season in history. The smoke from the wildfires has covered the entire San Francisco Bay Area and most of Northern California, turning the entire sky orange.

So far, fires in the state have burned more than 3.1 million acres, 26 times more than at this time last year, according to Cal Fire, and more than 3,900 structures have been destroyed so far this year, fire officials said.

According to the governor of California, five of the top ten wildfires in California history are currently burning. Since August 15, there have been about 900 wildfires in California, most of which were caused by lightning that month.

The high temperatures and strong winds over the past few days have made the fire more intense. Local predictions in the United States show that the flames will not go out in a short time and the fire may continue until "the winter rains come."

The wildfires in California, USA, have caused tents, first aid products, anti-smog supplies, air purifiers, anti-smoke masks and other products to become popular.

As wildfires continued in California, many local residents' houses were burned down, tents became a scarce commodity , and the popularity of tent-related products also skyrocketed.

Federal air quality monitors warned on the 12th that air quality has dropped to unhealthy levels in parts of California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho, which doctors say could make people more vulnerable to infection with the new coronavirus.

Therefore, local residents have a great demand for air purifiers, anti-smoke and dust masks, and smoke exhaust inspection related products . Sellers of related products should pay attention!

A search for the keyword "Tent" on Google Trends shows that the search volume for tents in the United States has been increasing recently.

In addition, users who searched for tents also searched the following words. It can be seen that the fire had a great impact on American residents. Tents became a necessity for residents whose houses were burned down.

As can be seen from the above figure, the search volume of travel tunnel tent ranks first.

Currently, UPS and FedEx in Los Angeles are basically in a state of overload due to insufficient personnel and a relatively short supply of truck capacity due to the epidemic. Coupled with the growth of e-commerce orders, the entire terminal delivery is in a tight state. Whether it is UPS, FedEx or the entire overseas warehouse, the entire delivery delay is inevitable.

Although the peak holiday season in the United States has not yet arrived, as sellers are looking for ways to replenish stocks in preparation for the November and December shopping months, the momentum of the peak freight season is beginning to emerge and port congestion is becoming increasingly serious.

As the number of containers shipped increases, shipping space is now full, trailers are in short supply, and container abandonment is serious. Shipping costs are continuing to rise. Now many Amazon goods are piled up in Los Angeles warehouses, and the processing center is overloaded. Due to the large amount of goods and the small number of drivers, the current supply and demand relationship of trucks in Los Angeles, USA, is in an extremely unbalanced state.
