President Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom joined a roundtable discussion Monday on the massive wildfires engulfing the Golden State and much of the West Coast.
Some areas in the West Coast were issued a "red flag warning" by the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS), as high winds threaten to spread scorching wildfires further.
The 'Apple Fire', a wildfire northwest of Palm Springs flared up Saturday, prompting thousands to evacuate. The fire started small in Cherry Valley at Riverside County California last Friday.
The fire swept through Paradise in what is considered one of the deadliest wildfires in California. Human remains, some only teeth and bone fragments, were found in vehicles and homes.
Florida is suffering from more than a dozen wildfires as record temperatures and extremely dry weather takes its toll on the state. The wildfires have devastated acres of properties, forcing residents to evacuate.
