Firefighters say coronavirus will obstruct emergency service as wildfire season closes in
In San Jose, 14 firefighters have tested positive for COVID-19 and more than 10% of the fire department have been quarantined over the past few weeks. In Kirkland, Washington state, 30 firefighters were recently quarantined.
"If part of our workforce can't come to work because they're ill, that causes me great concern," Lanzas said. "It keeps me up at night." "The lack of staffing this year means guys are going to be working on fires 40 to 45 days with no break," Edwards said. There's also a high risk for contagion for residents who are evacuated during wildfires. After Camp Fire ravaged the city of Paradise, victims taking refuge in several shelters near the city were sickened from a norovirus outbreak.
