California has invested in AI wildfire detection, drones, satellite monitoring, real-time fire modeling, and advanced mapping technology to detect fires earlier and respond faster. These investments, along with hundreds of prevention projects and a nearly doubled firefighting workforce, are helping build the strongest wildfire readiness and response system in the country.

Firefighters' extraordinary courage embodies the best of America – with every call, they put their lives on the line to keep the rest of us safe. I'm proud to have signed a bill that will hire more firefighters and provide first responders with the safety they deserve.

Burn scars from past wildfires may leave the land vulnerable. Without vegetation to stabilize the soil, heavy rains can lead to dangerous debris flows and flooding. CAL FIRE Incident Management Teams are supporting California Governor's Office of Emergency Services to reduce these risks in recent fire-damaged areas of Los Angeles County. Before the current storm, 22 CAL FIRE handcrews were pre-positioned across Southern California, as part of a larger emergency response force, for any potential rescue or mitigation needs. During the storm, responders have been utilizing ALERTCalifornia cameras to monitor conditions in real-time. 🚨 Stay alert if you live near a burn scar. Sign up for emergency alerts in your area at:

The Saint Paul Police Department has been using unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, since 2023. This technology provides officers with real-time information from above an active scene. Now in 2026, we’re expanding our drone program to help all first responders. Our team of trained drone pilots can now provide a live thermal view above a fire – allowing the Saint Paul Fire Dept to identify hot spots and develop the best plan of action. There are now two drone options: • A Saint Paul Police officer, who is also a trained and authorized drone pilot, can respond and launch a drone at the scene. • Or we can deploy one of our three new docked drones. Docked drones are remotely piloted, can be on scene in less than 3 minutes, and being to relay real-time information to responding officers or firefighters before they even arrive. These tools are improving public safety, reducing response times, and leading to better-informed decisions and better outcomes for everyone in the City of Saint Paul. • Learn about our Docked Drone Program and other public safety technology tools, plus view our interactive flight dashboard, policies, and more: • Read more via the Pioneer Press:

This is how fast it happens. While crews were responding to the Gann Fire, a new column of smoke appeared. Crews moved in quickly, bringing dozers, aircraft, and firefighters to the fire before it had a chance to grow. Dozers cut containment lines. Aircraft dropped retardant and water. Firefighters attacked from the ground. The Gelding Fire was stopped at 3 acres. For a videographer, getting to capture those first moments is rare. For firefighters, this is the everyday work of keeping wildfires small. #GeldingFire #GannFire #InitialAttack CALFIRE TCU

Why aren’t firefighting aircraft used all the time on wildfires? Firefighting aircraft are essential in slowing wildfire spread and supporting ground crews. However, high winds can limit the effectiveness of water and retardant drops, dispersing them before they reach their target. Strong winds also increase risks for pilots and crews. Safety and strategy always come first! 🚁🔥 Want to learn more about CAL FIRE’s world-renowned aviation program, visit #WildfireAwareness #FirefightingAircraft #WildfireSafety #AerialFirefighting
