WWE Star CM Punk Pays Tribute to First Responders Fighting Los Angeles Wildfires
WWE star CM Punk began Monday Night Raw by addressing the crowd in San Jose, California, before announcing his intentions to compete in the upcoming Royal Rumble match. Before diving into his aspirations of getting to WrestleMania 41 and taking another jab at Seth Rollins, Punk gave a special shoutout to the first responders and emergency personnel fighting the fires in the Los Angeles area.
The crowd at the SAP Center cheered as Punk acknowledged the firefighters and first responders from California and surrounding states, including Canada and Mexico, who are working to combat the devastating wildfires. The fires, which began on Tuesday afternoon, have forced over 30,000 people to evacuate and have resulted in over two dozen fatalities.
Punk’s comments came as Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley warned that the threat to the area is not yet over and that the Los Angeles City Fire Department has maximized its resource capabilities and response capabilities to prepare for any new fires that may break out.
The Los Angeles wildfires are still ongoing, with officials warning that worsening winds could further escalate the blaze. The area is still under threat, and officials are urging residents to remain vigilant and not let their guard down.
