Federal agents arrest firefighters working on WA wildfire

Two people fighting the Bear Gulch fire on the Olympic Peninsula were arrested by federal law enforcement Wednesday, in a confrontation described by firefighters and depicted in photos and video.

Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday about the confrontation.

“You risked your life out here to save the community,” the firefighter said. “This is how they treat us.”
