Brown said he expects Trump to help California.

“The president has been pretty good about helping us out in disasters, so I’m hopeful,” Brown said.

He renewed his warning of worsening wildfire threats in the years ahead. Earlier this week, Brown said the wildfires will cost the state heavily.

“We gotta be ready,” Brown said. “We gotta re-examine the way we manage our forests, build our houses – where we build them, how we build them, and how much we invest in our fire protection services. We got a lot to do.”
