YUMA, Arizona (CBS 13) – After a little over two weeks battling raging forest fires in California, firefighters from Yuma and Imperial make their way home.

A fire truck and team from the Yuma Fire Department left July 20 to meet with an Imperial Valley emergency team and an engine in the valley before heading to Northern California. They spent most of their time in Quincy, California.

Both crews helped with the Dixie Fire, which has consumed more than 253,000 acres. It is 35 percent included. They were moved to another fire about a week later.
