DENVER—Colorado fire agencies have responded to calls for help to fight the massive wildfire burning in Arizona by sending firefighters.
The Eagle River Fire Protection District in Eagle County said Wednesday that it’s sending two firefighters and a water tanker to the 607-square-mile blaze in eastern Arizona for up to two weeks.
Four firefighters from the North Metro Fire Rescue in Broomfield County will also head to Arizona for up to two weeks. Officials say a reserve fire engine was sent Tuesday.
The forest fire in Arizona has been raging since May 29 and has forced thousands from their homes. Smoke from the blaze has prompted health advisories in southern Colorado.
