The Oregon Department of Forestry extends its deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the Idaho firefighters who were attacked this past weekend.
“Wildland firefighters already are putting themselves at risk everyday just by fighting a wildfire,” Michael Curran, ODF Fire Protection Division Chief said. “This line of work is a calling for those wanting to serve something bigger than themselves. We recognize the courage and sacrifice it takes to fight wildfire and have a duty to support our comrades in dark moments like these.”
The Oregon Department of Forestry stands with the State of Idaho, Kootenai County Fire & Rescue, Coeur d’Alene Fire Department and the City of Coeur d’Alene as they navigate this tragedy.
