Gov. Gavin Newsom sunk into a chair in the lobby of Novato Community Hospital, where he had just met with patients who were evacuated from nearby hospitals due to the Kincade fire. Newsom said he was impressed with the coordination between local, state and federal governments to ensure vulnerable residents in the path of the fire were taken care of.

The Democratic governor even called the Trump administration’s response to California’s wildfires “spectacular.”

“I have nothing but good things to say about the federal government’s support,” Newsom said. “In fact, the Homeland Security acting director proactively called me two days ago to check in. … Hats off to them.”
