Help is on the way: Snohomish County firefighters en route to LA fires

EVERETT — Snohomish County fire crews are making a trek to Los Angeles County to help efforts to contain raging wildfires.

A total of 40 firefighters in 10 engines left at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. The team includes firefighters from South County Fire, Tulalip Bay Fire Department and Camano Island Fire and Rescue.

The crew expects to stop in Sacramento, California, on Thursday night and arrive in Los Angeles on Friday.

The deployment won’t strain fire resources in Snohomish County, said Peter Mongillo, a spokesperson for Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue. Only about five firefighters from each agency are en route to Los Angeles.

I do love how here in the western states we help each other out with fighting fires. Just the act of cooperation is very life affirming at a time when so much is in doubt about America. But here in AZ we've received a lot of help from our neighbors, and we send fire fighters to other states. Even Canada is sending help.

In dark times, it is important to remember that we do this.

Our son is being deployed from Colorado to Los Angeles. He is a fire fighter with the US Forest Service. Seems he gets in all the big fires. Stay safe to all the fire fighters!!!
