(BOISE) – Crews battling wildfires in Idaho are getting a little extra help from their Wyoming neighbors. Thirty airmen with the Wyoming Air National Guard and three C-130’s were sent to Boise Friday where they’ll be stationed for the remainder of the fire season. Officials say their help is badly needed in Idaho, since most of the available planes are being sent to Texas to fight fires there. This is the second deployment involving Wyoming Air Guard crews this year.
