Screw you Los Angeles voters! Communists needed it more.

Several wildfires have ravaged Los Angeles this week, fueled by dangerously high winds and prolonged dry conditions. The unfavorable weather conditions, number of fires and scale of the fires have made it difficult for the local firefighters to contain the blazes.

But some people on social media have appeared to imply that the current struggle to contain the wildfires could be related to the fact that a Los Angeles fire department donated surplus equipment to Ukraine in 2022. The claim was amplified by Donald Trump, Jr.

VERIFY reader John emailed us to ask if the claim is true.

THE QUESTION
Did a Los Angeles-area fire department donate equipment to Ukraine?

THE SOURCES
Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD)
Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation
Jan. 8, 2025 wildfire press conference by Los Angeles community leaders
Nova Ukraine

This is true.
Yes, the Los Angeles County Fire Department donated surplus equipment to Ukraine in March 2022.
