Oregon Sends More Firefighters To California
(Salem, OR) -- Oregon is sending more firefighters to California, because dangerous fire conditions continue this week. 30 water tenders and 70 firefighters left over the weekend. Water tenders are large tankers that move water into areas where water isn't available. They're joining 15 strike teams from Oregon that went to California last week. These firefighters come from local departments across the state. The Oregon Fire Marshall says there are enough firefighters remaining to adequately cover communities.
