As we told you yesterday, a firefighter from Oldham County died over the weekend.
The Kentucky Division of Forestry says it's getting help from other states as Kentucky's own firefighters work overtime.
So we have about 125 CDF employees that are all being used in some form or fashion in suppression tactics.
And then we have those 610 person crews from Oregon, and then we received additional aid in the form of boots on the ground crews from the Idaho Department of Lands.
And once again, these are 310 person crews which are referred to as suppression modules.
And so they will also be heading out to those same two regions of Pikeville and Hazard to help with on the ground attack on these wildfires.
As of yesterday, fires had burned about 26,000 acres.
