In May 1945, the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, the only entirely black airborne unit in United States Army history was sent to the West Coast of the United States to combat forest fires ignited by Japanese incendiary balloons, an operation named "Operation Fire Fly". Although this threat did not fully materialize, the 555th fought numerous other forest fires while there.
