There are at least nine active fires in Southern California, where red flag warnings were extended through Friday morning.
President Trump toured the wildfire devastation in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon, pledging to work with Gavin Newsom, the state’s Democratic governor, to address recovery efforts. “We want to get it fixed. We want to get the problem fixed,” Trump said of the fires before embarking on a helicopter tour of the areas impacted. Newsom, who has clashed repeatedly with Trump about the cause of the fires, struck a welcoming tone when he greeted Air Force One at Los Angeles International Airport. “We’re going to need your support. We’re going to need your help,” Newsom said. “You were there for us during COVID. I don’t forget that, and I have all the expectations that we will be able to work together.” Firefighters continue to battle multiple wildfires in Southern California as the return of strong Santa Ana winds and critical fire weather conditions have fueled new blazes in the drought-stricken region. Two fires erupted in the San Diego area on Thursday afternoon, prompting evacuations. The Border 2 Fire, which broke out in the Otay Mountain Wilderness area east of Chula Vista and north of the U.S.-Mexico border, has burned more than 5,000 acres, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Mandatory evacuations and warnings were issued for nearby residents overnight. Another fire, the Gilman Fire, burned several acres south of La Jolla, briefly forcing residents to evacuate before the fire’s forward progress was stopped, fire officials said. Firefighting crews continue to make progress on the massive Hughes Fire, which erupted near Castaic Lake, Calif., on Wednesday, quickly burning more than 10,000 acres. According to Cal Fire, the fire is now 56% contained. The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings through Friday morning, but much-needed rain is expected this weekend. So far, the wildfires have scorched more than 35,000 acres, destroyed over 14,000 structures and left at least 28 people dead.
NN: Everything these liberal woke spoke joke LGBGT bacon lettuce tomato binary FAGTS touch turns to shit. A fire department is not a place to affirm your feminine or masculine sex change agenda. It’s not a place to expose your lesbian belief system. Its their to put out fires and save lives. Its not a place to go and propitiate the woke opportunities and missed opportunities and all that crazy shit that’s going on now in California with his lefty liberal agenda. Proof enough is their was no water in the fire hydrants. Kinda of a basic resource for a fire department. The colossal failure to put out fires is a testament to that stupidness of the liberal lefty system of governess. How much longer does this continue before people wake up and say hey put the water in the damns for the fire hydrants. Fill the ponds instead of trying to reduce the salinity in the ocean for the smelt fish experiment. Give the water to the farmers so they can grow food for people. Stop experimenting with Natural Bambi Forest Reserves. Clean out the fallen trees, clean out the brush and remove the fuel that feeds the fires. They were too busy with their liberal lefty woke spoke joke agenda to do the job and people are paying the price.
