California Governor Gavin Newsom said last year, a record 130,000 acres were burned, but that record was shattered in 2021 with 504,000 acres currently burned.
According to data from the National Interagency Fire Center, there are currently five active wildfires in California. The largest wildfire in the state is the Dixie Fire, which has burned over 226,000 acres and is just 23 percent contained.
"We have a huge need for additional aerial assets, additional dozer bosses so we can get our dozers into fire lines, we need more trained people. We do have an emerging concern about our fuel supply for our aerial assets," Inslee said."We've had 1,000 fires. It's burned four times more at this time of year than normal.
Governors from Washington and California asked President Joe Biden for additional resources to fight the ongoing wildfires in their states on Friday, July 30, 2021.During the briefing, Biden said that the ongoing threat of wildfires across the West coast requires"urgent action."
