California Governor Gavin Newsom addressed the public in a video on Tuesday evening regarding the ongoing efforts to combat the Palisades fire. He mentioned that a significant number of personnel, including firefighters and specialized teams, have been deployed to the area to contain the blaze.
Newsom highlighted the use of various resources such as airplanes, helicopters, bulldozers, water tenders, and specialized personnel to combat the fire and prevent further spread. He emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that the strong winds fueling the fire were unprecedented for this time of year.
The Governor pointed out that traditionally, this time of year has not been considered fire season in California. However, he stressed that the state now faces a year-round fire threat, dispelling any notion of a specific fire season.
The Palisades fire serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges posed by wildfires in California and the need for continuous vigilance and preparedness. Newsom assured the public that all available resources are being mobilized to address the current fire and prevent future incidents.
