In the end, President Joe Biden promised that the federal government would provide California with 180 days of full financial help to fight the fire.
Biden commended the Democratic governor of California, Gavin Newsom, for his efforts throughout the crisis and commended local power providers for shutting off the electricity.
“What I know from speaking with the governor [is] that there are worries that there has also been a water shortage,” he said.
“The truth is that the utilities naturally turned off the electricity because they were concerned that the energy-carrying wires would be destroyed and trigger further flames.
“The utility company and the capacity to pump water from a hydrant are directly related. As a result, it permits many ignorant individuals to claim, worry, or accuse local leaders of being uncaring or incompetent.
