way, still threatened by cal fire. the valley fire killed three people and even more presumed dead. again, according to cal fire. governor brown wrote a letter to the president outlining how the state is stretched very thin this year sending more than 11,000 firefighters to battle five active fires that have burned almost 400,000 acres and in the last two years alone on wildfire spending, $200 million for additional emergency firefighting. now, neighborhoods are completely burned down along with the destruction of nearly 1,000 power poles and the loss of critical water and communication systems. the federal money would help people repair, rebuild and replace their houses and under fema's individual assistance program provide services like disaster case management, legal services, crisis counseling and, of course, temporary housing. a difficult situation as so many will have to live likely pretty far from home. to help with this transition, a shift to put people in evacuation center and a new one in middletown at the twin pine
