“CLOSE CALL” FOR SEASIDE FIRE CREW WHEN TREE HITS APPARATUS WHILE ASSISTING WITH CAL WILDFIRES

Posted on August 24, 2020 by Editor

Santa Rosa, Calif. – August 22, 2020 – While on assignment patrolling fire line at the LNU Complex Fire outside of Santa Rosa, California on Saturday morning, Seaside Fire & Rescue’s brush truck was struck by a falling tree. No injuries were sustained in the accident and Engine Boss Katie Bulletset said, “The light bar probably saved us from injury and prevented the tree from going through the cab roof.”

The vehicle was immediately taken out of service and is currently awaiting a damage assessment. Despite the mishap, the crew continues to work with the rest of Clatsop County’s Task Force and will remain in California to assist with the firefighting efforts on the LNU Complex Fire.


The Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal deployed Clatsop County firefighters on August 19 as Oregon Task Force 9 with four additional task forces from throughout the State of Oregon in response to a request from California to assist with this catastrophic wildfire season. The 340,000-acre fire is currently reported to be at 17 percent containment.
