~ California Secures Federal Assistance to Support Response to Sandy Fire in Ventura County
Ventura County, California - As the Sandy Fire continues to burn in Ventura County, Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Monday that California has secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to aid in the response efforts.
The fast-moving fire, which ignited on May 18, 2026 near Sandy Avenue, has already burned over 1,364 acres and is threatening several communities in Simi Valley. Evacuation orders are currently in effect for over 10,000 homes and an additional 3,500 homes are under evacuation warnings.
In a statement, Governor Newsom expressed his gratitude for the firefighters and first responders working tirelessly to protect lives and homes. He also urged residents in impacted areas to follow guidance from local officials.
The FMAG, provided through FEMA on a cost-share basis, will assist local, state, and tribal agencies responding to the fire by reimbursing them for 75% of their eligible fire suppression costs.
