The federal government is racing to fund recovery efforts as wildfires ravage Los Angeles.
Since Tuesday, fires in the region have burned over 40,000 acres of land and destroyed over 12,000 structures, leaving thousands without homes and in need of assistance. With the Palisades, Altadena and Sylmar fires continuing to burn, the federal government will fund 100% of firefighting costs for the next 180 days, President Joe Biden announced Thursday.
