Description

A firefighter walks along a dirt road in the Lookout Mountain region in eastern Oregon near Durkee, OR on Sun., July 28, 2024.

The U.S. Forest Service will begin providing wildfire crews with masks to protect against smoke, reversing a decades-long policy banning protective gear after The New York Times spotlighted severe health impacts from smoke exposure, including a case involving a young Oregon firefighter now battling cancer.
