Wildland firefighting continues in the Pacific Northwest and some Alabama firefighters are there helping in the effort.

According to the Alabama Forestry Commission, a firefighting crew is currently on a wildland firefighting detail in Washington.

The Alabama crew members are working alongside partners from across the country to protect communities and natural resources, the AFC said.

"Wildland firefighting is a true team effort - it takes skill, endurance, and dedication to meet the challenge. We’re proud of our team for representing Alabama with professionalism and courage," stated the forestry commission in a social media post.
