“We’ve got a mayor that’s out of the country and there are no resources to put out the fire. It looks like we’re in a third world country,” Caruso added.

Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom said that more than 1,400 firefighters have been deployed to combat the wildfires. “Emergency officials, firefighters, and first responders are all hands on deck through the night to do everything possible to protect lives,” he posted on X.
