In August, Black Forest Fire Rescue sent a fire engine and four firefighters to help fight wildfires in Northern California. The four will receive valuable hands-on training and experience fighting wildfires. They will acquire new firefighting skills, techniques and strategies that can be beneficial in fighting fires in Black Forest.The federal government covers all costs associated with sending firefighters out of state, including salaries and travel. The government also pays for those in Black Forest who cover the shifts of those deployed. While they are deployed, the district is fully covered for any emergencies.
