forest fire

(Worthy News) – “California is battling two of the largest fires in our history and has seen nearly 600 new fires in the last week caused by dry lightning strikes. These are unprecedented times and conditions, but California is strong — we will get through this,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a weekend press release.

The fires burning across the state have claimed seven lives in the last week, according to The Associated Press. Nearly a quarter of a million people were placed under evacuation orders and warnings, the AP reported.

On Saturday evening, President Donald Trump approved of a disaster declaration regarding the fires. Doing so allowed for federal funding to be granted to affected individuals in Lake, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, Yolo and Solano counties. Federal aid will also be granted to state, tribal and local recovery efforts. [ Source: AccuWeather (Read More…) ]
