Oregon Firefighters In Texas

(Amarillo, TX) -- Sixteen firefighters from Oregon are helping to battle the Smokehouse Creek fire in Texas. It's burned over one-million acres and is only 15 percent contained. Firefighters were dealing with 50 mile an hour winds on Sunday. The Oregon firefighters are in Texas under a mutual aid agreement. Fire danger in Oregon is low this time of year, so the crews can help in Texas without impacting protection in Oregon. The team includes five engines and a strike team leader. Last year, 123 firefighters from out-of-state helped battle Oregon's fires.
