VIDEO: As firefighters continue working around the clock to manage the wildfires, the Eagle Fire Department is stepping in to help out by sending a crew to tackle the Snag Fire. Army soldiers from joint base Lewis-McCord are being activated to help on the fire line. As we've previously reported the lightning-caused Snag Fire began burning early this month. “It's always a balancing act and every year we go through this,” said Battalion Chief Jeff Krochmal. Battalion Chief Jeff Krochmall tells me with current staffing the department feels comfortable sending three crew members but the number one priority is their community. So far they've been lucky with the weather window now cooling off.
