The White House announced on Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris has been briefed on the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles and the federal response efforts in place. The wildfires have prompted evacuation orders for thousands of Californians, including Harris' own Los Angeles residence.
Harris' spokesperson, Ernesto Apreza, confirmed that no one was present in the Vice President's home at the time of the evacuation order. Apreza also stated that Harris and the Second Gentleman are keeping the safety of their fellow Californians, first responders, and Secret Service personnel in their thoughts and prayers.
The rapidly-intensifying wildfires in the Los Angeles area have led to a significant emergency response effort, with firefighters and emergency services working tirelessly to contain the blazes and ensure the safety of residents. The situation remains fluid, with authorities urging residents to stay informed and follow evacuation orders as necessary.
The White House has assured that federal resources are being mobilized to support the firefighting and relief efforts in California. Harris, as the Vice President, is closely monitoring the situation and staying informed on the latest developments.
As the wildfires continue to pose a threat to communities in Los Angeles and beyond, the collective efforts of first responders, government agencies, and residents are crucial in mitigating the impact of the disaster and ensuring the safety and well-being of all those affected.
