Captain Adam Short as well as firefighters Brent Madden and Walter Webb are making their way home after assisting with two wildfires in northern California. The three men from Fry Fire District spent two weeks with a strike team helping contain two of the once more than 30 fires blazing in the Golden State. Short said they were asked if they could stay up there longer as much needed resources but their request was denied. Because Fry Fire District is contracted with the State of Arizona for these calls, Short said if the state feels more resources are needed at home then they will deny the extension waiver. Fry Fire Chief Mark Savage can also deny the waiver if they need personnel back in town. Short added that there is a two-week maximum for wildfires because the crews work 16-hour days and they want to make sure the firefighters are rested and taking care of themselves.
