Trump offers more water for California wildfires

 

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross directed the National Marine Fisheries Service to allow for redirecting water set aside in California for endangered species protection to be used for fighting wildfires.

Ross said the wildfires represent an emergency, allowing agencies to bypass protections of wildlife under the Endangered Species Act.

“Protection of life and property takes precedence over any current agreements regarding the use of water in the areas of California affected by wildfires," Ross said.
