United States Marine Corps and Navy Helicopter Crews Assist CAL Fire With Wildfire Suppression

After the devastating wildfires of 2007 in San Diego, California, a historic agreement was put into place allowing the United States Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy to assist CAL Fire with wildfire suppression in the wildland areas of San Diego County.
