Five Sweet Home firefighters got an up close and personal view of the Bear and Booth fire complex burning near Sisters, called out August 20 as part of the statewide conflagration act.
Task force leader Doug Emmert with crew members Guy Smith, Kevin Pettner, Josh Marvin and Dennis Williamson helped protect buildings and other structures for five days, working primarily at night.
“There were eight task forces there when we were,” Emmert said.
