(Washington, DC) — President Trump is declaring California a major disaster because of devastating wildfires. The White House said in a statement this morning that the President has ordered federal money to be made available to help recovery efforts in areas affected by the wildfires. The Ranch Fire north of San Francisco has exploded to nearly 230-thousand acres and is one of the largest wildfires in state history. Farther north, the Carr Fire has burned over 145-thousand acres, destroyed over a thousand homes and killed seven people.
