As deadly wildfires continue to rage in Los Angeles, a Republican congressman from Texas says federal lawmakers will consider tying relief funding for California to policy changes in the state.

Texas firefighters are suited up on the West Coast, working alongside scores of other fire departments to try to get California's wildfires under control.

House Speaker Johnson says there is talk of placing conditions on aid for California’s wildfire victims. Some Republicans hope that will encourage California to make changes to how they prepare for wildfires.
