North Dakota Wing Assisting with Wildfire Response

North Dakota Wing is assisting state agencies with the wildfires in the Turtle Mountains.

"Wildfires, unfortunately, have spread across various portions of the state. We're continuing to work with partner agencies including North Dakota Forest Service and North Dakota National Guard - providing vital, real-time updates to control flare ups as quickly as possible. Please help thank our volunteers Capt. Larry Regorrah and Capt. Kai Engstroem for their volunteer service from Monday last week. Regorrah coordinated air operations while Engstroem piloted a four-seat, Civil Air Patrol aircraft five hours straight - providing NDFS Fire Manager, Ryan Melin, a birds-eye view of the fires in the Turtle Mountains."
