Fort Jones firefighters returned last night after 14 days assigned to the Slater fire in Happy Camp. Additionally, E-1314 got about a week off when the base moved to another area due to visibility issues, but is staffed again doing crash rescue standby at Scott Valley Helibase. #fortjonesfire #slaterfire #helibase
