Oregon firefighters rescue couple from Palisades Fire

Early on the morning of January 10, Oregon firefighters began their first day of duty battling the gigantic Palisades fire in Southern California, which eventually destroyed thousands of acres, scorched innumerable buildings, and claimed the lives of around a dozen individuals.

Moving through empty streets, the Douglas County strike team was tasked with putting out hotspots in the Palisades neighborhood on the western outskirts of Los Angeles. After driving down in their rigs from Oregon the previous evening, the squad, which was one of 370 firemen dispatched from all around Oregon to California, was unsure of what to anticipate.
