## Caption

It was the early morning on Jan. 10, Oregon firefighters’ first day on the line fighting the massive Palisades fire in Southern California that went on to burn thousands of acres, scorch countless buildings and kill nearly a dozen people.

The Douglas County strike team, assigned to extinguish hotspots in the Palisades neighborhood on the western edge of Los Angeles, made its way through deserted streets. The team – part of the 370 firefighters sent from every corner of Oregon to California – didn’t know what to expect, having driven down in their rigs from Oregon the night before.

On their first day, they found a couple stranded and were able to rescue the wife and husband.

Read more about their rescue at the link in our bio.
