On Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for several areas due to the Bridge Fire, Line Fire and Airport Fire.
A state of emergency was declared in LA, San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside counties.
“We’re deploying all available resources,” Newsom said on Wednesday. “Grateful for our heroic firefighters and first responders working around the clock.”
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
