After Oregon sent 300 firefighters and 75 engines to help fight the LA fires this week, rumors began circulating that equipment and crews had been stopped for emissions testing.

The teams include 70 firefighters and 30 water trucks. They will join the 300 Oregon firefighters already sent to California this week.

California’s call for help meant a quick mobilization for the Oregon Department of Forestry’s strike teams. Within 24 hours, six teams were en route to help tackle the blazes, and they’re making an impact according to an ODF representative on the ground in LA County.
