 I'm John Goodell here at Mather Airport in Sacramento as California continues to build upon its innovative capabilities for disaster response. This week, Cal OES and the California Military Department announced the creation of the first all-hazards fire engine strike team, operated by a state military department. This partnership helped strengthen the state's ability to quickly respond to climate-driven disasters. Enhancing California's fire and rescue mutual aid fleet, Cal OES is deploying a Type 6 strike team to the state's military department, which includes five wildland-style engines with the capacity to carry a four-person crew. This adds to an already robust fleet of 270 engines across 60 local partners statewide. And finally, recovery work is underweighing counties impacted by 2022 wildfires. Cal OES, in coordination with state and local partners, established local assistance centers in Mariposa and Siskiu counties. More than 250 survivors of the McKinney fire in Siskiu County received support services from participating agencies, including the DMV, the Franchise Tax Board, and Department of Insurance, among others. Each center is locally operated with support from local, state, federal, and non-profit agencies. To see more from us, go to news.caloes.ca.gov and follow us on all of our social media platforms.
