California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized over Los Angeles wildfire response [Video]

A California lawmaker is calling for serious changes to happen in wildfire combat and prevention. 

“There’s a lot of similarities. And that’s kind of part of the issue here, that I don’t know that we really learn the lessons of the past,” Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher told Fox News Digital.

Gallagher was describing the 2019 Paradise fire that struck his district and said a lot more needs to be done to combat and prevent catastrophic wildfires across the Golden State.

“It’s the same type of catastrophic wind-driven fire. We still see movement of dead and dying timber and underbrush on federal land, in that case, decimated a whole community,” Gallagher said.
