Twenty firefighters from California returned to the United States after spending nearly a month battling wildfires in Australia.
Firefighter Leonard Dimaculangan, of Pasadena, Calif. hugs his daughter Promise, 11, after arriving from a deployment fighting wildfires in Australia Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2020, in Los Angeles. 20 firefighters from the Angeles National Forest worked with the Victoria Rural Fire Service to fight the blazes that are consuming Australia.
Dimaculangan, in a national forest uniform of a khaki shirt and green pants as well as a pin with the U.S. and Australian flags, was one of the last firefighters to enter the room. As he entered his mother clapped and his 11-year-old daughter, Promise, threw her arms around him.Usually his parents and Promise greet him after he returns from long-distance fires but his brother and sister surprised him as well.
Angeles National Forest sprawls over more than 1,090 square miles of the San Gabriel Mountains, which form a wilderness backdrop to metropolitan Los Angeles. The Angeles firefighters said the crash occurred when they had a day off and they learned about the deaths at a briefing the next day.
