Cal OES Activates Strike Teams For Dangerous Fire Weather

(Sacramento, CA) — Cal OES has activated strike teams that are ready to respond in case a wildfire breaks out. The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services put together strike teams of fire engines, hand crews, water trucks and helicopters amid the dangerous fire weather conditions. Brian Ferguson with Cal OES says they are pre-positioning firetrucks and assets in the field so if there are fires that start, crews can quickly put them out. The agency says it will monitor the conditions and will deploy more crews as needed.
