They will be helping out in areas affected by burn scars, like the Thomas Fire area and areas prone to flooding and debris flows.

26 Bakersfield Firefighters left Wednesday morning around 10:30 a.m. The team should arrive in Santa Barbara by 2 p.m.

The storm and its effects will determine how long BFD will be in Santa Barbara.
