California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Sunday he'd deploy additional firefighting resources in anticipation of "extreme fire weather" in the upcoming days.
Newsom is "mobilizing and prepositioning more than 130 fire engines, water tenders, and aircraft to Southern California, along with personnel," his office said in a statement, as the state "is surging additional resources to provide rapid-attack capabilities for early fire starts."
"The recent firestorms in Los Angeles have illustrated the importance of being in the right place at the right time. By strategically placing specialized personnel and equipment in areas prone to wildfires, crews are able to respond faster and more aggressively," Newsom said in the announcement. "These conditions are dangerous, so it's incumbent upon all families to stay vigilant," he added.
