President Trump announced that he is deploying 26,000 first responders to California to help with the hundreds of wildfires that have hit the state over the last week.

“Recent wildfires in California and the storms in the gulf of Mexico yesterday I approved a major disaster declaration for California. I spoke to governor Newsom as they battled two of the worst wildfires in the history of their state that continues. The federal government has already deployed over 26 000 first responders and personnel to battle the wildfires. We’re working very closely with the governor and very closely with a lot of great state representatives and local representatives and we’ll take care of the situation. But we have 26 000 first responders already our hearts go out to the thousands of families who have lost their homes as we grieve for the families of two first responders and five residents who have tragically lost their lives it’s been a very horrific fire one of the the biggest we’ve ever seen”.
