Karen Bass: “the administration has been very clear they want it done. They want it done quickly.”

The city and county have opened spaces for families seeking relief from the smoke, and we will continue working around the clock and doing everything possible to put this fire out completely.

They deserve transparency, clear communication, and meaningful support.

I urge everyone in the impacted area to get indoors immediately, close windows and doors, turn off air conditioning, and avoid unnecessary travel to the area.

I understand why residents are frustrated. They deserve transparency, clear communication, and meaningful support.
