Four members of Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue left Saturday for Georgia where the department says they will join a Washington Department of Natural Resources strike team battling two large wildfires that are burning in the southeastern part of the state. The agency is sending a firefighter/EMT, a lieutenant serving as engine boss, a driver operator and a firefighter/paramedic, along with one of its newest brush engines, according to a Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue.

The crew is made up of firefighter/EMT Clint Smith, Lt. Kirk Huhta as engine boss, driver operator Garrett Johnson and firefighter/paramedic Jake Hawken. They’re expected to arrive by mid-week.

PHOTOS: A home in Warsaw caught fire Saturday afternoon and ended up completely burned down. At around 3:45 p.m. Saturday, a helicopter from a local radio station in Warsaw, WIOE, captured video of a home on fire located in the Barrington Hills subdivision just off the intersection of N 100 E and 350 N.

In the video, the flames emitting from the home are visible as it becomes completely engulfed in smoke. Emergency vehicles can be seen speeding through the neighborhood streets to quickly respond to the fire.

After the helicopter pilot took off from the Warsaw airport, he told WANE 15 he saw black smoke coming from his right. About an hour and a half later, the pilot flew over the area again and snapped a photo of what was left of the home.
