California pre-deploys resources in Plumas, Nevada, and Sierra counties ahead of critical fire weather conditions

~ SACRAMENTO - As critical fire weather conditions are forecasted to impact Plumas, Nevada, and Sierra counties starting Wednesday, July 30, Governor Gavin Newsom has taken proactive measures by approving the prepositioning of firefighting resources in these areas.

This decision was made in response to the success of previous prepositioning efforts, which have proven to be a crucial component of California's wildfire response strategy. By having resources already in place, response times are reduced and fires can be contained before they escalate.

A total of 14 fire engines, four water tenders, and two dispatchers have been prepositioned in Nevada, Sierra, and Plumas counties. This ensures that resources are readily available to respond quickly and minimize the potential impact of new fires.

This announcement follows recent prepositioning efforts from July 23-25 in Nevada, Plumas, and Sierra counties and from July 20-22 in Plumas and Sierra counties. Governor Newsom emphasizes the importance of residents being prepared for potential evacuations and listening to local authorities during this heightened fire weather period.
