(Olympia, WA)  --  Governor Jay Inslee is directing the Washington National Guard to train and certify up to 250 guard personnel, in preparation for the 2016 wildfire season.  The governor has ordered the guard to coordinate with the state Department of Natural Resources to make sure enough personnel are properly trained to fight wildfires.  Some Guard members completed similar training for the first time in 2015, and joined the teams that battled the Kettle Complex fires in Eastern Washington.
