Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom invited the Republican, who attacked him for his handling of the fires, to visit Los Angeles and see the damage.
Dozens of people are still missing and at least 27 have died from the fires in Altadena, north of Los Angeles, and in the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood in the city’s west.
They destroyed more than 16,000 hectares, an area almost as large as the capital Washington, and led to the evacuation of tens of thousands of people.
-Mounted police officers and dog squads inspected the disaster areas on Friday in search of victims, in charred buildings and even in certain steep areas.
Hundreds of trucks crisscross the roads of Altadena, the Pacific Palisades neighborhood and the Malibu coast to transport workers who have come to clear the roads, restore electricity and inspect water and gas leaks.
