Western Wildfires: 200 Active-Duty Soldiers Will Help Fight Blazes | 18 Aug 2015 | The government will mobilize 200 active-duty soldiers to help fight the wildfires torching the West — the first time it has taken that step in nearly a decade. The Defense Department said the soldiers would come from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, in Washington state. They will be divided into 10 crews of 20 soldiers each and sent Sunday to a wildfire to be determined. An estimated 95 wildfires are burning across 1.1 million acres of land in seven Western states, taxing firefighters and budgets.
