With the 100-foot flames of the Sumner Grade Fire threatening family homes last week, a group of off-duty firefighters answered the call to battle the blaze between shifts, saving homes that otherwise would’ve been destroyed.

Round the clock, firefighters have been working tirelessly to stop a bushfire that forced the evacuations of 7,000 Washington state residents, consumed more than 800 acres, and destroyed 4 homes.
