As the wildfires rapidly spread through California, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate; fire fighters are working tirelessly to contain the flames. After receiving a request from the state of California for assistance to put out the fires, the state of Montana sends several fire engines and crew members to Los Angeles. "We had numerous significant fires. Obviously the fires that burned in Napa are going and now these fires in Los Angeles," says Red Lodge Fire Chief Tom Kuntz. "Overall this is going to shape up to be one of the worst fire seasons in U.S. history." While firefighting poses many dangers, he ensures that his team is properly equipped and highly trained.
