I am being frequently briefed on the wildfires in west Los Angeles. My team and I are in touch with state and local officials, and I have offered any federal assistance that is needed to help suppress the terrible Pacific Palisades fire. Earlier tonight, FEMA approved a Fire Management Assistance Grant to support areas that are impacted and help reimburse the state of California for the immediate firefighting costs. My Administration will do everything it can to support the response.
I urge the residents of the Pacific Palisades and the surrounding areas of Los Angeles to stay vigilant and listen to local officials.
We’ve declared a state of emergency to amplify our response to this devastating fire and clear a path for a rapid recovery.
To the hundreds of brave firefighters and first responders who have been responding all day to this blaze – we thank you.
To the thousands of families impacted by this horrific fire – the City of Los Angeles is providing resources and shelter as this fire continues. Visit https://t.co/kO6ETKt6OJ for up to date information.
The City is working AGGRESSIVELY to confront this emergency.
