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

Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher said he feels that state and local leadership have been "very deficient" in how they responded to the wildfires.

Gallagher said that in 2021 , he and other lawmakers fought for $1 billion in funding to combat and prevent catastrophic wildfires.

Governor Newsom 's office has disputed these claims and said CalFIRE ’s budget has nearly doubled since 2019 , going from $2 billion to $3.8 billion .

Gov. Newsom called a "special session" to "Trump-proof" the state for when President-elect Trump is inaugurated and then added wildfire relief to the agenda.

Republican lawmakers called Newsom 's special session "insulting" and "wrong to tie fire relief funds to the partisan Trump -proofing’ California special session funding bill".
