“The devastation out there is catastrophic,” Biden said Thursday as he and Vice President Kamala Harris received a briefing from administration officials on the fires in the Los Angeles area and sought to assure residents of the response to a disaster that has challenged their administration in its final days.
The president said he had increased the federal funding to cover 100% of costs for 180 days and that he was surging all possible US government resources to help the region, including 400 additional federal firefighters and over 30 firefighting helicopters and planes. The Department of Defense has also authorized 500 wildfire ground clearing personnel, he added.
Biden also thanked Canada, saying the allied nation had secured additional firefighters and fire-fighting equipment.
