Puget Sound Fire has deployed two fire engines and seven firefighters as part of a strike team to help battle the ongoing, devastating wildfires in Southern California.
The strike team also includes contributions from the following other local fire departments:
- 1 engine company from Seattle Fire
- 1 engine from South King Fire & Rescue
- 1 engine from Valley Regional Fire Authority
