San Mateo County Strike Team 2275A is currently on Day 3 of its deployment in Washington.
San Mateo County Strike Team 2275A is currently on Day 3 of its deployment in Washington, helping neighbors in Spokane as they navigate the devastating impact of the Old Trails Fire.
Led by Strike Team Leaders Chief John Wurdinger of the Menlo Park Fire Protection District and Chief Nick Gabbard of the Central Marin Fire Department, this dedicated crew brings together firefighters from Redwood City Fire Department, Menlo Park Fire Protection District, Woodside Fire Protection District, South San Francisco Fire Department, and CAL FIRE, Coastside Fire Protection District.
For the last three days, this team has been on the ground performing mop-up operations, patrolling for hot spots, and providing structure protection. During their neighborhood surveys, the group has encountered the heartbreaking reality of this fire: homes completely reduced to ash.
While the work is physically demanding, the emotional weight is heavy. Our crews have spent time walking through the wreckage with homeowners who have lost everything—helping them search for treasured personal items, offering food, clean water, and a shoulder to lean on, and sharing moments of comfort and quiet support during their hardest hours.
Despite the sorrow, spirits among the team remain high. They are deeply honored to serve this community and bring a bit of hope to families facing unimaginable loss while representing San Mateo County. Please keep the residents of Spokane, all the affected families, and our firefighters in your thoughts as they continue their mission.
