Del. Firefighters Help Battle Colorado Wildfires

The crew of 20 will spend about two weeks helping battle the wildfires

A crew of 20 Delaware firefighters is joining the effort to battle Colorado's wildfire.
 
The News Journal reports the team will spend about 14 days firefighting on the mission before returning home.
 
The crew includes firefighters from volunteer companies, the state forest service, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and other agencies. They are serving at the request of the U.S. Forest Service.
 
Delaware crew boss Glenn "Dode" Gladders says everyone is tired but doing OK. They have been working to put out fire flare-ups in burned areas.
