On November 12, 2018 the Longview Fire Department deployed 3 members to assist with the wildfires in California. Those that went were Driver/Operator Carlee Cilk, Driver/Operator Dusty Burks and Firefighter Chris McGinnis. They will possibly be serving a 14 day tour not counting travel days. If needed, a second three-person crew will be activated to relieve those already deployed.
