SALEM, Ore. – After helping crews fight fires in California for nearly two weeks, all of Oregon’s strike teams and resources returned home on Saturday.
In total, fifteen strike teams were sent south to help battle the wildfires burning in Northern California.
The crews were initially dispatched to help battle the Kincade Fire burning in Sonoma County.
While some were demobilized, others were reassigned to help fight the Ranch Fire outside Red Bluff, California.
“Thanks to all 15 Oregon strike teams who helped our neighbors in California,” the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal said.
