Los Angeles — President Joe Biden attended a briefing in Los Angeles about the wildfires that continue to engulf the area, causing massive damage and claiming at least two lives.
“It’s going to take time,” President Joe Biden warned when talking about the recovery from the wildfires during a briefing at a Santa Monica fire station on Wednesday.
The briefing took place at Santa Monica Fire Station #5. First lady Jill Biden was also in attendance.
Newsom, who stood next to Biden, thanked him for his support.
“It’s impossible for me to express the level of appreciation,” he said.
Kristin Crowley, the Los Angeles fire chief, said her team knew there was a “significant threat” from the Pacific Palisades fire as soon as it started because of the “high, high, high winds.”
Crowley said she had never seen anything like the wind conditions in her 25 years of experience.
