This effort is crucial following a decrease in firefighting capacity due to the redeployment of National Guard crews to Los Angeles by the Trump administration. The state faces increased pressure as federal funding to the U.S. Forest Service has also been cut, necessitating the urgent need for local firefighting support to manage escalating wildfire risks.
