“This is a dangerous fire that’s spreading quickly and threatening lives," Newsom said in a statement. "State resources have been mobilized to protect communities, and this federal support from the Biden-Harris Administration will give state and local firefighters the resources they need to save lives and property as they continue battling this aggressive fire.”
The fire has caused $2.5 million in damage, according to USA TODAY's data.
The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.
The fire, which was discovered on Wednesday, is primarily being fueled by brush.
