In Southern California, two counties are sending crews to Orange County after eight firefighters there were injured in a crash. They will help in the battle against the devastating Airport Fire, which is now more than 50% contained after days of progress.

Officials provided an update Friday on the eight firefighters injured during a rollover crash on an Orange County freeway Thursday night. “We’ve got a tough road ahead,” Orange County Fire Authority Chief Brian Fennessy said during a morning news conference.

The chief says firefighters have a “tough road ahead.” All who were injured were members of two hand crews that had been battling the Airport Fire since it ignited Sept. 9.
