At today’s briefing with Sec. Burgum, U.S. Wildland Fire Service Chief Brian Fennessy, and local fire chiefs, we discussed the next steps in responding to the fires and collecting information for a federal disaster declaration.
Today, it is the top fire in our nation. That means [the federal government is] going to give us the resources that we need here on the ground.
For the good of our country, the rule of law, and the American people, we demand that you change course and restore the previously awarded funding.
We should be thankful for California Interagency Incident Management Team 7 and the firefighters who have continued to respond after the incident.
