'NO WATER HERE' California residents angered as they rush to get pool water to help put flames out

The U.S. Department of Defense is deploying ten Navy helicopters with water delivery buckets to help suppress wildfires raging across southern California.

At a press conference Wednesday afternoon, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said the 10 Navy helicopters come in addition to the California National Guard and the Nevada Nation Guard each readying an additional two "modular air fighting system units."

The Navy's helicopters with watery delivery buckets will "immediately assist with aerial suppression," Singh said, though adding that high winds were a deterrent.

"It's a matter of also, can those assets get in the air? And right now, I mean, Cal Fire is - has some of the best capabilities and equipment to fight fires in California," Singh said. "We can search assets, and, and the president has directed this department to bolster whatever California needs. But we have to work with California and right now, we can't even get assets up in the air because the fires are so bad and because the winds are so bad."

At President Biden's direction, the DoD "will provide additional firefighting personnel and capabilities," Singh said. "The federal government is working closely with the National Guard, which is deployed under the governor's state of emergency declaration."

President-elect Trump lashed out at President Biden and California Gov. Gavin Newsom over their handling of wildfires in California on Wednesday.

Trump weighed in on the wildfires from his Truth Social account, highlighting how much it will cost to rebuild from the fires.

"The fires in Los Angeles may go down, in dollar amount, as the worst in the History of our Country. In many circles, they're doubting whether insurance companies will even have enough money to pay for this catastrophe," Trump wrote.

"Let this serve, and be emblematic, of the gross incompetence and mismanagement of the Biden/Newscum Duo. January 20th cannot come fast enough!" he added.

Universal Studios of Hollywood, a theme park located between Pasadena and the Pacific Palisades, was closed Wednesday due to the extreme winds and fire conditions.

Additionally, the studio canceled shooting for various series, including "Hacks," "Ted Lasso" and "Suits LA," the Associated Press reported.

The Walt Disney Co. closed its headquarters in Burbank, and canceled production on shows including “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Doctor Odyssey.”

ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” which tapes in Hollywood, was canceled for Wednesday and will instead air a repeat.

These production pauses come after several disruptions to Hollywood's TV and feature film industry in Los Angeles, including the cancellation of the premiere of Universal's "Wolf Man" and the postponement of the upcoming Critics Choice Awards.

Hollywood celebrities have been forced to flee their homes as wildfires have raged in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, where stars including Mark Hamill, Mandy Moore and James Woods live.

The fires have not yet been contained.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will reimburse California for costs associated with hiring more firefighters and controlling the raging wildfires that have ripped through Southern California.

News of the Fire Management Assistance Grants trickled in Tuesday, and by the evening the White House put out a statement from President Biden confirming the move. FEMA confirmed the measures on Wednesday, in an announcement laying out some details about the grants.

The funding will provide federal reimbursements for up to 75% of "eligible firefighting costs" incurred by the state, as California seeks to shore up its firefighting force and put out the wildfires that have killed at least two people and driven thousands from their homes. Eligible costs include expenses for field camps, equipment, materials, supplies and mobilization or demobilization efforts attributed to fighting the fires.

"My Administration will do everything it can to support the response," Biden said Tuesday, announcing news of the grant. "I am being frequently briefed on the wildfires in west Los Angeles. My team and I are in touch with state and local officials, and I have offered any federal assistance that is needed to help suppress the terrible Pacific Palisades fire."
