Washington Firefighters Help Oregon
(Salem, OR) -- Firefighters from Washington state will help protect structures against the Falls Fire near Burns in eastern Oregon. The current fires have drawn down resources in Oregon. Weather conditions later this week could cause fires to grow. About 30 firefighters from Snohomish, Thurston, and Grays Harbor counties will help protect homes and other structures. Oregon and Washington have mutual aid agreements to send firefighters when the other state needs help. About 60 firefighters from eight other states are currently working the Salt Creek and Larch Creek fires.
