Firefighters arrested at Bear Gulch may have been set up
Description
The Bear Gulch fire is now estimated to be more than 10,000 acres, in the Olympic National Forest. Two men who were fighting that fire were arrested and detained by federal immigration officials last month. We talk with Stateline reporter Alex Brown, who reports that firefighters familiar with the incident believe the management team overseeing the fire crews played a role in handing over the men to immigration authorities.
