Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) was corrected by an NBC News reporter on Sunday when he claimed President-elect Donald Trump was wrong about his criticisms of California’s fire management.

Over 150,000 Californians remain under evacuation orders, largely in the Los Angeles area as of Sunday. At least 16 people have died as multiple wildfires are spreading across the region. Meanwhile, the Pacific Palisades area is citing low water levels that are aggravating efforts to extinguish the fire there, resulting in 11% containment as of Saturday night.
