Here’s all the actions Governor Newsom has taken in response to the Los Angeles fires

biggest state investment in fire response in history — nearly doubled since the beginning of the administration. Response efforts include more than 2,000 pieces of firefighting equipment, including 1,490+ engines, 80+ aircraft, 200+ dozers and 210+ water tenders to aid in putting out the fires. The Governor deployed a surge of California Highway Patrol Special Response Teams to provide ongoing law enforcement capacity to further protect fire damaged communities in Los Angeles.

Governor Newsom ordered the activation of more than 2,500 California National Guard service members to augment firefighting operations and support local law enforcement to protect communities from looting. The Governor’s National Guard activation started with his emergency proclamation on Tuesday, January 7 with over 600 service members deployed. The Governor doubled the number of those deployed on January 11, and increased that by 1,000 the next day to a total of 2,500. Also strengthening public safety efforts, the Governor signed an executive order directing state agencies to support local law enforcement partners as they lift evacuation orders.   

Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency on the first day of the fire, Tuesday, January 7, to support communities responding to the fires. He subsequently issued two executive orders to support response and recovery efforts.
