In Prescott, we lost 19 hometown boys last Sunday in the worst wildland fire tragedy since 1933. Our firefighters; the Granite Mountain Hotshots were on the front lines of a forest fire near Prescott when shifting winds caused the fire to overtake them, killing all but one of the squad. These boys were the elite of wildland firefighters trying to save the town of Yarnell from being engulfed by the fire. These past few days an impromptu memorial has grown at Fire Station #7 here. Such beautiful and brave men that laid down their lives as heroes!
