OR Firefighters Battle New SoCal Fires
(Salem, OR) -- Two Oregon strike teams of water tenders have been assigned to help fight a new fire near San Diego. The teams were part of the initial deployment of 370 firefighters and 105 trucks sent to the Los Angeles area earlier this month. Water tenders are large tankers that move water to areas where there are no hydrants. They're assigned on a two-week deployment where they'll help fight the Lilac Fire near Bonsall.
