According to Oregon and California’s fire departments, trucks were stopped in Davis, California, just outside Sacramento, for maintenance and safety checks, and those trucks continued onward. Photos and news coverage confirm that trucks from other states were assisting firefighters in Los Angeles.

After Oregon sent 300 firefighters and 75 engines to help fight the LA fires this week, rumors began circulating that equipment and crews had been stopped for emissions testing.

Oregon has sent hundreds of firefighters, 75 fire engines and other equipment to help battle the blazes in Southern California. But social media posts falsely claim Oregon's firefighting vehicles were "being held in Sacramento for emissions testing.

California and Oregon officials denied that fire trucks from Oregon were substantially delayed by California safety checks while rushing to fight the fires.

California’s call for help meant a quick mobilization for the Oregon Department of Forestry’s strike teams. Within 24 hours, six teams were en route to help tackle the blazes, and they’re making an impact according to an ODF representative on the ground in LA County.
