HOLLISTER, Calif. (KION-TV)- Training continues at the Hollister Air Attack base as CAL FIRE crews have a new tool at their disposal this fire season. We show you an inside look at the night vision goggles that are changing how they can fight fires from the air. These new night vision goggles allow firefighters to fight fire even when the sun goes down.
