Wichita Falls Fire Department is sending one Emergency Vehicle Technician and eight fire fighters to northern California to help battle what is being deemed as the largest wildfire in the state’s history.
The flames have not only destroyed thousands of acres of land but at least 1000 structures.
This will be the first time Wichita Falls firefighters have been asked to be a part of a task force heading to California. The Texas Forest Service would normally be sending their crews to help, but Texas is also experiencing dry weather and wildfires. So, they have decided to stay.
