Congressman LaMalfa, Senator Padilla, and Congressman Fong have jointly requested a major presidential disaster declaration for the Park and Borel Fires in California. This follows Governor Newsom's formal request to President Biden for federal aid.
In his statement, Rep. LaMalfa highlighted the severity of the situation: “The Park Fire is the fourth largest in California history, and the largest arson-related fire we have ever recorded. With over 400,000 acres burned and thousands evacuated, it is imperative that we acquire the federal resources needed to start the rebuild. I look forward to the Biden Administration’s swift approval of this request to help our regions begin the recovery process.”
Rep. Doug LaMalfa represents California’s First Congressional District, which includes Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba Counties.
