President Donald Trump declared the wildfires raging in California a major disaster, which will allow federal funds to be used by people and businesses harmed by the fires in seven counties to pay for temporary housing, home repairs, and other needs.
More than two dozen massive wildfires continued to ravage parts of California on Aug. 23, fueled by high temperatures and ongoing lightning strikes, including 100 on Aug. 21, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire).
