President Joe Biden is scheduled to receive a briefing from CalFire officials at a local fire station in Santa Monica on Wednesday. This comes after the president was briefed by his team on the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles County overnight, according to a White House official.
The Biden-Harris Administration has maintained constant communication with California Governor Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Bass, their respective teams, affected counties, and other local officials throughout the night. The administration is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating response efforts.
President Biden, who is currently traveling in the Los Angeles area on a pre-planned trip, will be making a stop at the fire station before returning to Washington. The visit underscores the administration's commitment to addressing the wildfire crisis and supporting the affected communities.
