Spokane Firefighters returned to Spokane Tuesday night after 11 days helping combat the fires that devastated Northern California. Crews from Spokane Fire Protection District 8, City of Spokane Fire, and Chelan Fire and Rescue went out to California and got a firsthand look at the destruction and damage caused by the wildfires that burned across the state. Tom Hatley was one of 19 firefighters from our region who traveled to California to help fight fires and protect homes. He said the devastation was unlike anything he's ever seen.
