Original Note:
The small amount of equipment that was sent to Ukraine was in fact decommissioned, and due for replacement. Nothing was sent to Ukraine until the new equipment was commissioned, so there was never a time whereby California was short on equipment. This was a global effort. https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-california-donate-firefighting-equipment-ukraine-2012160#:~:text=Oleg%20Skachko%2C%20a%20Ukrainian%20American,2022%2C%20according%20to%20Fox%20News.
