SACRAMENTO - Hundreds of local fire crews that saved homes from being destroyed by wildfire this week are returning home today, after being released by the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. State OES engines will remain behind to finish what is hoped to be the final stages of this month's wildfire fight. Today, with the fires nearing full containment, OES began sending home local government engines from the Creek and North Fork fires. Crews from the Leonard Fire will begin heading home tomorrow. The 261 engines will continue to depart the scene in parades of five, scattered throughout the next several days, passing back across the freeways to the 51 counties from which they came (see attachment). Of the nine large wildfires that started this month, it was the Creek Fire, currently 85 percent contained, that dominated local government and State OES Mutual Aid resources. For six days, the Creek Fire roared across Tuolumne and Mariposa counties blackening 11,500 acres and threatening to engulf homes in numerous communities. At its peak deployment yesterday, OES had 260 engines and eight National Guard helicopters on the fires. Among its duties, State OES dispatches local government and state fire fighting resources through the California Fire & Rescue Mutual Aid System. The neighbor-helping-neighbor system is designed to assist the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, federal wildland fire agencies, and local departments. It is also ensures that additional resources are provided to local jurisdictions whenever their resources are committed or insufficient for a fire. The OES Fire and Rescue Emergency Operations Center in Sacramento will remain activated 24-hours a day to coordinate statewide fire and rescue efforts. At the center are representatives from OES Executive Office, Law Enforcement Branch, Inland Region, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. - OES - Departments that sent fire engines to Creek, Leonard, and North Fork fires.
