Over the weekend, GHFMO firefighters deployed to eastern WA as part of the South Puget Strike Team, working the Old Trails & Autumn Lane Fires in Spokane.
These fires have caused significant damage across the Spokane area, and our thoughts remain with everyone affected. Our crews have helped protect multiple homes with zero structure loss in their assigned areas.
