Despite the news agency for Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom awarding his administration “exceeded expectations” in 2021, the team’s flames have “inadequately trained” “It was done.”

Team Blaze, a volunteer wildfire unit, was closed in January 2024 by the Newsom administration. According to Free beacons. The dissolution then prevented the California National Guard from sending full power from the firefighters until 10 days after fighting the wildfires in January 2025. I’ve previously claimed.

Newsom’s Press Office responded to a free Beacon article on January 24th, stating that the claim was “absurd.”

“California has shifted its small, inadequately trained volunteer reservoir components to a massive, professional and highly trained firefighting force,” the press conference said in a post on X.

Absolutely ridiculous claims from the Pizzagate peddler.

California has moved its small, trained volunteer reserves to a highly specialized and highly trained firefighter.

Since @cagovernor Newsom has been appointed, @thecalguard It’s almost tripled… https://t.co/ilaxbl03lv

Military records obtained by the outlet show that in 2021 the governor administration awarded one of the highest honors in the California State Guard. Excellent Unit Quotes.

“Team Blaze members completed such a sophisticated and diverse fire curriculum before revitalization, when 100% of all members passed Cal Fire Wildland Firefighting Training.” It is listed.

“By providing the full range of Wildland firefighting, Team Blaze has established a reputation for outstanding performance,” the quote continued.

The award recognized Team Blaze’s efforts during the 2021 Dixie Fire, one of California’s biggest flames. The fire began in July 2021 and ended in October that same year, and was active for 104 days. According to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The fire spread across five counties, burning nearly a million acres.

“Team Blades is far exceeding expectations,” the award said.

“How can they justify saying something bad,” a former Team Blaze firefighter told the free Beacon. “They literally gave medals to be the best unit in the California State Guard.”

Jay Kogan, a former California State Guard commander who signed up for the team’s 2021 award, told Beacon that if the Newsmom administration kept the team’s flames it could have prevented a 10-day delay. Kogan said the team may have been in Los Angeles and performed Type II hand athletic missions within just a few hours of the fire.

“I’m angry at what they said about my soldiers and the airline. Are you inadequately trained?” Kogan told the outlet. “The State Guard is made up of over 1,200 dedicated volunteers who just want to keep people safe. They were so disrespected by the governor.”
