While California has deployed firefighting resources to Oregon in previous years, this\u00a0marks the first time the state has deployed firefighting resources to Oregon under the\u00a0Northwest Compact<\/a>. CAL FIRE personnel departed \u00a0California on Tuesday and are expected to remain in Oregon for up to 14 days.<\/p>\n The principle of neighbor helping neighbor is one of California\u2019s core values and it\u2019s how we respond to major wildfires. Oregon has been there to help us, and now we are showing up with a helping hand.<\/p>\n Governor Gavin Newsom<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cCalifornia and Oregon have a strong partnership, the ability to support one another during critical incidents in paramount,\u201d\u00a0said CAL FIRE Director and Fire Chief Joe Tyler.\u00a0<\/p>\n In recent years, Oregon deployed resources during several major incidents in California, including the 2025 Eaton and Palisades Fires.<\/p>\n The deployment will not impact capacity in California as CAL FIRE will maintain full staffing levels and deploy reserve fire engines to continue to protect Californians alongside local, state, federal, and tribal partners. Further, the Governor\u2019s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) continues to coordinate the California Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid system to support and new or emerging wildfires.<\/p>\n California\u2019s mutual aid leadership<\/p>\n California has a long history of answering the call when communities face their greatest challenges. Through its nationally recognized mutual aid system, California has deployed highly trained, expert personnel and specialized resources to disasters across the country and around the world.<\/p>\n Recently, California deployed resources to\u00a0Colorado<\/a>\u00a0marking the first time CAL FIRE has deployed firefighting resources to Colorado under the National Association of State Foresters (NASF) state-to-state partnership.<\/p>\n California teams have responded to disasters in\u00a0Florida<\/a>,\u00a0Washington<\/a>,\u00a0Alaska<\/a>,\u00a0Texas<\/a>,\u00a0New Mexico<\/a>,\u00a0Oregon<\/a>,\u00a0Montana<\/a>,\u00a0Wisconsin<\/a>,\u00a0Hawaii<\/a>, \u202fJamaica<\/a>,\u202fArizona, and Puerto Rico<\/a>. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, and\u00a0Hurricane Ian\u00a0<\/a>are among other events California has supported.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What you need to know:\u00a0California is deploying 10 CAL FIRE firefighters in critical leadership positions to help Oregon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8],"class_list":["post-400081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CalFire.gif\")
