(Salem, OR) -- California is sending five strike teams of firefighters to be on standby during the heat wave and high fire danger in Oregon this week. The Oregon State Fire Marshal requested the teams through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact between the two states. The teams will be pre-positioned in the Willamette Valley, so they're available to respond if new fires start. There are currently 11 Oregon based task forces mobilized on two fires in Lane County.
