More than 80 people from the National Guard trained to be wildland firefighters at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, as the state prepares for earlier and earlier wildfire seasons. FOX13
Historically, fire season is declared around June and runs through October. The last couple of years, however, have skewed the average. Last year, the Pacific Northwest had a late summer which pushed the season well into fall. In 2021, fires started as early as March and April, which is why trainings like this are crucial.
All 85 of these men and women from the National Guard have been learning about wildland firefighting through online sessions. Now, they get to put those skills to work. On the lines of a fire, it's the unknown that's the greatest concern. But this group is ready for whatever the upcoming season brings.
