To the heroes, firefighters, and first responders battling these fires in Los Angeles: Your sacrifice and determination inspire the entire state.

California is deeply grateful for your dedication and service.

Governor Newsom

California's fire damage is worsened by policy:
- No new water storage means less firefighting capacity.
- Too few controlled burns let fuel pile up.
We need better strategies, and better leadership fast.

BREAKING! A new fire has just sparked on Solar Dr in the Hollywood Hills.

Watch: President Donald Trump slams CA for lack of water needed to fight the devastating fires in LA:

“It's very sad because I've been trying to get Gavin Newsom to allow water to come. You have tremendous water up there. They send it out to the Pacific because they're trying to protect a tiny little fish."

"They have no water in the fire hydrants today in Los Angeles."

"They have plenty of water. They don't have a drought. They send it out to the Pacific."

"And it's crazy. So what's happening in California is a true tragedy."

THIS is the PACIFIC PALISADES right now, as the sun goes down on this dark day.

Praying for brighter days ahead.
