(Salem, OR) -- The head of the Oregon National Guard visited Guard members who are deployed as firefighters. Adjutant General Alan Gronewald, and other senior leaders, toured a fire camp in Harney County and had breakfast with soldiers and airmen fighting the Telephone Fire that's burned over 53-thousand acres. They also met with crews at a helicopter staging area near Cottage Grove. Around 90 Guard members deployed last week, forming four hand crews, each with 22 firefighters and additional support staff. Three Black Hawk helicopters and a Chinook are being used the fight the fires.
