A large Wildfire is threatening Los Angeles communities.
Los Angeles communities are under threat, which has prompted evacuation orders due to extreme winds fueling its rapid spread, with wind speeds of 60-100 mph.
President Joe Biden issued the following statement a few moments ago:
I am being frequently briefed on the wildfires in west Los Angeles. My team and I are in touch with state and local officials, and I have offered any federal assistance that is needed to help suppress the terrible Pacific Palisades fire.
Earlier tonight, FEMA approved a Fire Management Assistance Grant to support areas that are impacted and help reimburse the state of California for the immediate firefighting costs. My Administration will do everything it can to support the response.
I urge the residents of the Pacific Palisades and the surrounding areas of Los Angeles to stay vigilant and listen to local officials.
