President Joe Biden announced the federal government would cover 100% of costs for the initial disaster response to the Los Angeles wildfires.
Meeting with federal officials at the White House, Biden said the funds would go toward debris removal, temporary shelters, salaries for first responders and more for 180 days.
Biden said he emphasized to California officials they should "spare no expense to do what they need to do."
He also had a message for residents impacted by the ravaging fires: "We are with you. We are not going anywhere. To the firefighters and first responders, you are heroes."
"The cost of the debris cleanup is gigantic, gigantic. The cost of replacing the housing is almost exponential," he continued. "Anybody can give you a number now, they have no idea what they're talking about. It's big, big, big."
The evacuation orders and warnings issued due to the Kenneth Fire in the West Hills area have been lifted as authorities investigate the cause of the fire as arson.
As firefighters battled the flames Thursday afternoon, a person was detained in Woodland Hills for questioning. Authorities said he was possibly connected to the fires since he was apparently seen nearby trying to ignite something.
However, authorities later said that individual had been arrested for an outstanding warrant unrelated to the active fires in the region. There are now no suspects in the fire.
Nearly 1,000 acres were burned.
