'Love to help as much as I can,' said Justin Sauble, from Delaware Wildfire Crew.
Crews are driving across the country for four days to the Klamath National Forrest where a wildfire has grown to around 60,379 acres.Twenty members of Delaware's Wildfire Crew packed up their gear in Smyrna, Delaware at Blackbird State Forest, and headed out to Northern California to help battle the wildfires there.
"The heat is very tough, we encourage everyone to maintain as high a level of physical fitness as they can. That's the best mitigating factor we have against the heat," said Sam Topper, a crew representative. "Extremely steep extremely rugged terrain very difficult to operate in which is why they call crews along with the engines to get to those difficult to reach places," said Topper.
