Mayor Eric Adams clarifies that Los Angeles did not decline New York’s help with wildfires

He stated that while NYC doesn’t have the certified personnel for forest fires, they did offer other forms of support. The wildfires in LA have been devastating, causing loss of life and destruction of homes.
Adams mentioned that the request for aid from California specifically asked for certified firefighters, which NYC lacks. However, he assured that they were ready to assist in managing the wildfire response.
He expressed sympathy for the situation in LA, emphasizing that NYC is willing to help in any way possible. Firefighters from various states and even countries are currently on the ground in California, working hard to combat the flames.
The situation is dire, but there’s a strong sense of unity as many are coming together to fight these wildfires. Adams and other officials are committed to providing whatever support they can during this challenging time.
