Governor Newsom Proclaims State of Emergency in Lake County Due to Cache
Fire

Published: Sep 07, 2021

SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today proclaimed a state of
emergency for Lake County to support the response to the Cache Fire, which caused
major damage to homes and other structures. This proclamation will help quicken
removal of the resulting hazardous debris and ash, in addition to streamlining other
public services for fire victims.

Governor Newsom previously proclaimed a state of emergency in counties impacted by
the Caldor Fire, McFarland and Monument fires, Antelope and River fires, Dixie, Fly and
Tamarack fires and the Lava Fire and Beckwourth Complex Fire. The Governor has
also signed executive orders to support impacted communities and bolster wildfire
response and recovery efforts.

CAL FIRE and Cal OES personnel are responding in concert with other federal, state
and local agencies to address emergency management and mutual aid needs for the
fires.
