Firefighters from Clark County, Nevada, are en route to Southern California to help “The Golden State” battle the massive wildfires that have consumed much of Pacific Palisades and continue to burn uncontrollably on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
“Today, I announced that Nevada firefighting assets will deploy to Southern California to assist our neighbors in combatting one of the worst fires in recent history,” Nevada Governor, Joe Lombardo, wrote on social media. “Please pray for their safety and for the communities displaced by these awful fires.”
In addition, first responders can rely on support from UFC.
“Love this!!! Already called Joe Lombardo,” UFC CEO, Dana White, wrote on Instagram. “Much respect to all the first responders from Nevada and California. ANYTHING you need from me or UFC, we got you!”
UFC previously donated $1 million to the Hawaii wildfires relief effort in summer 2023.
The promotion is expected to stage its upcoming UFC 311: “Makhachev vs. Tsarukyan 2” pay-per-view (PPV) event next weekend in Inglewood, Calif., which is located in southwestern Los Angeles County and roughly 20 miles from the Palisades fires.
