President-elect Donald Trump is asking why the fires are not yet extinguished.
Trump has had a disagreement with California Governor Gavin Newson for years.
As the fires started to expand last Tuesday, with California struggling with a water shortage and firefighters during the beginning response.
Governor Newsom is stating he is focused on protecting people, and not playing politics - making sure that the firefighters have all the equipment and resources needed.
16 people have died as a result of the fires, resulting in an unknown vast amount of money in damages - perhaps California's most expensive fire.
Governor Newsom had a message for Trump:
"He's an incoming American president," Newsom told a reporter Saturday as he stood on a Los Angeles airport tarmac in front of a hulking CalGuard Black Hawk helicopter. "I would expect any leader of the free world, the most powerful person in the United States of America, to respect the pleas of 40 million Americans that happen to live in the state of California, hundreds of thousands of people that are still evacuated and a recovery effort that includes, right now, cadaver dogs to look for human remains, to be here for the American people at a time of emergency and a time of recovery."
