~ Sacramento, California - In response to the devastating Canyon Fire in Southern California, Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Friday that California has secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This grant will provide vital resources to help suppress the fire and support local and state response efforts.
The fast-moving Canyon Fire ignited on August 7, 2025 near Lake Piru in Ventura County and quickly spread into Los Angeles County. So far, over 4,850 acres have been burned and several communities are at risk. The fire has forced the evacuation of more than 4,300 residents and an additional 12,000 are under evacuation warnings.
Governor Newsom expressed his gratitude to the brave men and women who are fighting not only the Canyon Fire but also other wildfires throughout the state. He stated that this assistance from FEMA will help protect California communities.
The FMAG is provided through FEMA on a cost-share basis and will cover 75 percent of eligible fire suppression costs for local, state, and tribal agencies responding to the fire. This will help alleviate some of the financial burden on these agencies as they work tirelessly to contain the fire.

As Californians face yet another wildfire season, Governor Newsom urges residents to be prepared in case of evacuation. He encourages everyone to visit Ready.ca.gov for disaster preparedness tips and to sign up for alerts at Calalerts.org. It is important to remain vigilant and follow instructions from local authorities.
In other news, Governor Newsom will be hosting a press event tomorrow with Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and Congresswoman Barbara Lee as they welcome Texas Democrats who have broken quorum in order to fight against GOP map-rigging. This comes as Donald Trump and Texas Republicans push for rigged congressional maps before the 2026 election.
Additionally, Governor Newsom is partnering with leading tech companies such as Google, Adobe, IBM, and Microsoft to prepare Californians for an AI-driven future. This includes expanding access to over two million students to computer science education and training programs.
Lastly, Governor Newsom announced his nomination of three Court of Appeal Justices: Matthew Scherb as Associate Justice of the Second District Court of Appeal, Division Eight, Judge Corey Lee as Associate Justice of the Fourth District Court of Appeal, and Judge David Cowan as Associate Justice of the Sixth District Court of Appeal. These appointments aim to ensure a fair and just judicial system in California.
