Brush 82 deploys to California!

Brush 82 left today for a wildland fire deployment in Northern California. The crew of Chief Smith, Captain Hickey, and Firefighter Tompkins will spend the next two weeks supporting our national wildland partners while honing their skills and gaining valuable experience to help them better serve the district. While they are gone, other members of the department will be stepping up to ensure that we maintain coverage in the district.

A big thank you to everyone for their hard work!
