~ As the heat and fire weather conditions continue to escalate in Southern California, Governor Gavin Newsom has taken proactive measures to ensure the safety of residents. At the direction of Governor Newsom, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) has approved the predeployment of additional firefighting resources in Los Angeles, Kern, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Bernardino Counties.

This decision comes after earlier predeployments to Los Angeles County in response to elevated heat and critical fire weather conditions forecasted for this Wednesday through Sunday. A total of 32 fire engines, nine water tenders, nine bulldozers, five helicopters, nine hand crews, 13 dispatchers, and two Incident Management Teams have been pre-deployed across five counties.

Governor Newsom emphasized the importance of being prepared during this time. He urged Californians to check their local forecasts, sign up for alerts and make a go-bag with essential items. This proactive approach has proven to be a critical component of California's wildfire response strategy as it reduces response times and contains fires before they escalate into major incidents.
