Kentucky Foresters Battle Wildfires West | Louisville News

Kentucky’s forestry crew just returned from a 21-day wildfire mission in Washington state — part of a nationwide mutual aid effort where states lend hands when fire seasons get overwhelming. While this isn’t the first time Kentucky has stepped up to help, it’s also a vital training ground for their own fall fire season, as dry weather and falling moisture levels ramp up risks at home. Even as one crew came back, others remain deployed across Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Florida, Colorado, and Texas — all while battling 45 active fires in the Pacific Northwest that’ve already scorched over 35,000 acres. Their dedication keeps communities safe, whether they’re fighting flames across the country or right here in the Commonwealth.
