Florida Firefighters To Help With Western Fires
August 15, 2012
Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam said Tuesday that the Florida Forest Service will send wild fire fighting help to Oklahoma, Montana, Idaho, Nevada and Oregon.
“Due to rainfall in recent months, Florida’s wildfire danger levels have decreased,” Putnam said in a statement. “Therefore, we are able to assist other states that greatly need our help. The Florida Forest Service has some of the most skilled firefighters in the country, and we gladly offer our talent and resources to help other states protect the safety of people, structures and natural resources.”
A total of 56 firefighters are going west, the agency said.
