A team of firefighters returned home to Arlington Friday night, after lending a hand in the dangerous and deadly California wildfires.
Arlington fire fighters came back home in Engine 46 after fighting the California wildfires for five days.
“Seeing the devastation, it was like 'wow, the stuff you see on TV is really happening,' and it’s really right in front of us,” said Captain Cary Stuart with the Arlington Fire Department.
It’s the first time the fire fighters have answered the call to battle fires in California.
“Pressure and you don’t know what’s going to happen next,” Stuart said. “Just an awesome feeling that you can be part of helping those people down there and making a difference."
