A team of firefighters from San Francisco is headed to Hawaii to help with wildfire recovery efforts.
The crew took off from Oakland's airport Tuesday morning before boarding a plan to Maui. In total, there are nine active firefighters, one retired firefighter, and an EMT.
"We're going over to Maui to lend them a hand," said retired firefighter Paul Chin. "We've got rescue equipment and able bodies to help with whatever they need over there. They've been working this unfortunate fire for a while and I'm sure they are exhausted." All the news you need to know, every day
