Fire officials from both states say no engines were prevented from entering California and none of the vehicles underwent any emissions testing.

KATU News has been made aware of a post on a social media site claiming that the 60 fire engines from Oregon would not be allowed in California.

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.

California’s firefighting agency did not reject firetrucks sent from Oregon to help with the Los Angeles fires, contrary to online posts saying the vehicles were not deployed because they didn’t meet California’s strict emissions standards.

Fire trucks traveling from Oregon and other states to help fight the California wildfires were stopped for routine 15-minute safety checks, not emissions testing.

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.
