Governor Newsom predeploys firefighting resources Southern California ahead of dangerous fire weather

SACRAMENTO – With gusty, dry winds expected to develop in Southern California mid-week, Governor Gavin Newsom has directed the state's first responders to take early, proactive steps to protect communities. In advance of the coming weather, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) approved the predeployment of 129 personnel and resources to Los Angeles and Ventura counties ahead of critical fire weather driven by high winds, high heat, and low humidity.

This predeployment includes 10 fire engines, three water tenders, three helicopters, three hand crews, and three dispatchers with 107 support personnel. Additional engines and staff will be added based on local needs.

CAL FIRE also remains at peak staffing at all units within the impacted region and has full use of both state-owned air assets and exclusive use aircraft to rapidly attack any new fires that may start.

These efforts ensure that resources are ready to respond quickly, mitigating the potential impact of new fires and other critical incidents. This proactive approach has proven to be a critical component of California's emergency response strategy, reducing response times and ensuring resources are available when they are needed most. The preposition program is in addition to California's Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid System, which remains available for emergency response support throughout the state.
