California National Guard to support Line Fire response
In addition to the air and ground support, Cal Guard is also assigning one military police company for law enforcement support (area security, traffic control points in evacuation areas) to assist the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office.
Moving quickly to support the state’s response to the Line Fire, Governor Newsom on Saturday proclaimed a state of emergency in San Bernardino County and announced that California has secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help ensure the availability of vital resources to suppress the fire.
The fast-moving Line Fire near the City of Highland has burned more than 23,000 acres, forcing the evacuation of residents and threatening homes and critical infrastructure.
