BUTTE COUNTY<\/strong> \u2013 Governor Gavin Newsom today proclaimed a state of emergency in Butte County to support the response to the Thompson Fire, which has burned approximately 4,000 acres\u00a0and forced the evacuation of thousands of residents. A copy of the proclamation can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Governor yesterday announced that California\u00a0secured<\/a>\u00a0a Fire Management Assistance Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help ensure the availability of resources to suppress the fast-moving fire.<\/p>\n

Amid extreme fire weather across Northern California, the Governor was briefed by CAL FIRE and CalOES officials at the CAL FIRE McClellan Air Tanker Base yesterday on the Thompson Fire response and this year\u2019s wildfire season.<\/p>\n
