As firefighters continue to battle the deadly wildfires in Northern California, they've been getting help from all across the West Coast, including dozens from Western Washington fire departments.
Included in the group are 14 firefighters from Eastside Fire and Rescue in Issaquah.
"Watching it on TV, and seeing it in real life is a night and day difference," said Battalion Chief Dave McDaniel.
McDaniel and his team of firefighters left Issaquah early Friday morning for the 14-hour drive and arrived in the Sonoma County around 1 a.m. Saturday. They could see the fire burning on the ridgeline in the darkness, but they really got a sense of the destruction as they headed toward the front lines Saturday morning.
