(Salem, OR) -- Oregon is increasing the number of firefighters it's sending to the Los Angeles area to help battle devastating wildfires there. Oregon is now sending 370 firefighters. Strike teams from local fire departments across the state and the Oregon Department of Forestry will arrive in L.A. today. Oregon has an agreement with California to send firefighters when they need help and California does the same for Oregon. The agreement has been in place since 2017. Firefighters in California have been battling winds over 60 miles an hour that are making fires difficult to control.
