Clallam County Fire District No. 2 has a new brush engine to fight fires in wildlands. Officials gathered at the district’s Port Angeles office Wednesday to dedicate a refurbished brush truck that was previously owned by the state Department of Natural Resources. The 2001 International “Type 5” wildfire engine has a 600-gallon water tank that can be pumped while being driven along fire lines in forests, fields and other hard-to-get-to areas. “I want to thank DNR and [state Sen.] Kevin Van De Wege for making this happen,” Clallam County Fire District No. 2 Chief Sam Phillips said in a later interview.
