They say they’re hoping to be able to send some crew members out by tomorrow morning to assist the Lake Napa unit, which is requiring primary assistance, they cover Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake Counties.

Battalion Chief, Kurt Watkins, says it’s common for units across the state to assist each other when needed.
