Gov. Gavin Newsom mobilized state resources Jan. 22 to protect Southern Californian areas recently burned by wildfires and to prepare for possible mudslides from an oncoming storm.

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Los Angeles warned the public about dangerous fire weather expected until Thursday afternoon, while also keeping an eye on a rainstorm headed into the region beginning Saturday.
