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. Once on scene, the crew will be assigned to one of two fires burning in the Southeast Georgia Complex, according to the agency. The Highway 82 fire, also known as the Brantley Fire, has burned 20,933 acres and was 7% contained as of Saturday. The Pineland Road Fire has burned 30,004 acres and was 10% contained.
