Newsom warned that California would not be alone in its woes, and that states across the country could begin to see similar crises. He also stated that he had spoken to President Donald Trump about the fires and said that Trump had been “proactive” about providing aid to California.

“This is a climate damn emergency,” the California governor said. “This is real and it’s happening.”
