Los Angeles Police Chief McDonnell [press conference]: Mayor Bass, Chief Crowley, and I, are announcing, in conjunction with our partner agencies, the creation of the Los Angeles Regional Wildfire Task Force. This Task Force is made up of local, state, and federal partners, designed to investigate the cause of these fires, and to see if there is any connection between them…the ATF will take over as lead agency.

Mayor Bass: The fact that we're getting a hundred percent reimbursement from FEMA is not something that is usual, but it is something that [Biden] agreed to.
