Our crew returned home safe from the 242 fire on Tuesday afternoon. From the initial attack to the our demobilization, we worked with the Klamath County Taskforce to protect structures, reduce fire growth and establish containment lines.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly challenging fire season.

We are in unprecedented times for our state. But please, if you have a moment today, remember all of those we lost on 9/11. As fires continue to rage across Oregon, most scheduled ceremonies will not be held as crews work around the clock. Please, never forget.
