David Staggs was last seen at his home in January 2022. Police said they uncovered what is believed to be his remains on Wednesday.

The Oregon state fire marshal took to social media this week to dispel rumors circulating online about its firefighters being turned away from helping battle the wildfires in Southern California.

Officials in California and the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s office have rebutted claims that a lack of "smog certification" or needing "emissions testing" kept Oregon fire trucks from aiding with the Los Angeles fire response.

Fire officials from both states say no engines were prevented from entering California and none of the vehicles underwent any emissions testing.
