Since the first day these firestorms ignited, Governor Newsom has been coordinating an all-in state response. His leadership has ensured rapid mobilization of firefighting resources, emergency aid, and community support. By working closely with local agencies and first responders, he has prioritized safety, recovery, and resilience for affected communities, despite a challenging political environment and a lack of federal disaster aid.
Extreme weather conditions created a perfect storm for wildfire devastation. Record-breaking temperatures near 100 degrees, bone-dry vegetation, and powerful wind gusts turned what started as a small brush fire into a massive inferno within hours. Climate change continues to fuel longer and more intense fire seasons, putting entire communities at risk.
