Posted

A South Fork Fire Rescue engine remains in Los Angeles, Calif., on a strike team working alongside four other Colorado engines, including Security, Chaffee County, Purgatory, and Stonewall.

They have been operating in the Zulu Division, of the Palisade Fire focusing on mop-up efforts in steep and loose terrain.

Winds this week are expected to reach 75-100 mph, with humidity as low as 7%. A Red Flag Warning is in effect over the next few days. The team has been working 24-hour shifts, followed by 24 hours on call.

‘We’re proud of their hard work and dedication in these challenging conditions. Stay safe out there, team,’ SFFR officials stated.
