I’m not near the fire, but tears well up at the thought of those lost souls.
I spoke with a friend from Prescott this morning, and he said all the firefighters were from there.
He told me the fire was started by dry lightening, and then the monsoon winds came, and turned it into an inferno in seconds.
I pray for their families and friends. What a horrible, horrible loss.
May the souls of those who gave their all, for the beautiful town of Yarnell - Rest In Peace.
My hub is a vol. firefighter, today there was an announcement on the radio of a moment for silence for the 19 firefighters. Hub was on a wild land fire just a couple of days ago until the “real” wildland firefighters could get there.
They were so young; it is heart rending.
Glad it’s ok for you... I was worried, especially when I heard it TRIPLED!
