The Gap Firefighters

As happens with wildfires across the West every year, the assortment of highly trained professional fire experts fighting the Gap Fire came from throughout the United States. Although it was impossible to get a list of the more than 50 responding fire companies by our deadline, we do know that firefighting forces came from 28 states.
