Update Shoreline firefighters still deployed to wildfires

Shoreline Fire crews are actively deployed to manage wildfires, including the Sugarloaf Fire, which began on August 31, 2025, northeast of Leavenworth. Battalion Chief Yake serves as a Strike Team Leader Trainee, overseeing operations on the ground. In Oregon, the Moon Complex Fire has benefitted from recent rains, which have aided suppression efforts and resulted in the lifting of evacuation notices. This allows local crews to return home, including Lieutenant Harrington and Captain Merrick, who are managing communications. Their commitment to supporting communities is commendable, and the public is invited to express their gratitude.

The ongoing firefighting efforts illustrate the persistent threat of wildfires even as seasons change. Historically, wildfires have posed significant risks to local ecosystems and communities, necessitating robust response teams. As conditions improve, remaining crews continue to monitor and manage fire risks actively.
