On frontlines of firefight, Governor Newsom meets with first responders, announces tax relief for L.A. County
What you need to know: The Governor spent the day in Los Angeles visiting with first responders and touring devastation from the hurricane-force firestorm.
LOS ANGELES – Governor Gavin Newsom today met with first responders who are on the front lines of the battle against the Los Angeles fires. The Governor also was briefed on and toured the Eaton and Palisades fires to see the devastation and progress with containment firsthand.
Today, the Governor also took a series of actions to support response and recovery, including:
The spirit of California is embodied by these heroic first responders. They're putting their lives on the line to protect communities across Los Angeles and Southern California – our state is incredibly grateful for their sacrifice. These are some very difficult days but our common humanity is alive and well – it's what makes us strong as Californians.
Governor Gavin Newsom
The Governor spent his day in several parts of Los Angeles impacted by the fires. Governor Newsom started the day convening state leaders who are coordinating response efforts. Later, he met with firefighters at the Zuma Beach Incident Command Post, pilots and personnel who fly nighttime firefighting missions, and the contingent of firefighters arriving from Mexico to support firefighting efforts.
At the Rose Bowl, the Governor met with firefighters battling the Eaton Fire, including inmate firefighters, as well as support counselors who help firefighters on the ground – made possible by recent state funding. Also at the Rose Bowl, he met with state fire and county officials, as well as U.S. Fire Administrator Dr. Lori Moore-Merrell.

State's all-in response
California has mobilized more than 14,000+ personnel including firefighters, guard service members, highway patrol officers and transportation teams to support the ongoing firefight.
In addition, these response efforts include more than 1,700 pieces of firefighting apparatus, including 1,350+ engines, 80+ aircraft, 150+ dozers and 160+ water tenders to aid in putting out the fires.
On Tuesday, Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency and has issued two executive orders to support communities affected by the ongoing fires. On Wednesday, President Biden quickly approved Governor Newsom's request for a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration to support ongoing response efforts. The state also received continued federal assistance to combat the Hurst, Eaton, and Palisades Fires.
