California Wildfire Funds

California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday signed a bill approved by lawmakers a day earlier that creates a $21 billion fund to help bankrupt PG&E Corp and the state's other investor-owned utilities cover liabilities arising from future wildfires caused by their equipment.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he has ordered a halt to federal emergency funds for California to fight wildfires and manage its forests unless officials in the western US state can "get their act together."

Kim Kardashian announced two donations of USD 200,000 each- one going to the Wildfire Relief Fund and the other to the California Fire Foundation. She also donated USD 100,000 to a firefighter who lost his house.
