More than 200 Soldiers from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. worked their first day in the Mendocino Complex Fire today constructing debris barriers, clearing road-side brush and cutting lines to prevent the spread of the wildland fires burning in the area.
Soldiers from 14th Brigade Engineer Battalion were tasked to support the National Interagency Fire Center by the Department of Defense to assist the assets already on the ground. Before entering the burn area, every Soldier received personal protective equipment and three days of wildland firefighter training. In addition to the training, each active-duty fire crew is lead by two professional firefighters.
