These articles also confirms they, sadly, have died. The entire Hotshot crew.
The fire is about fifteen or twenty miles northeast of our place. I can’t see the fire from my house as there is a hill in the way. About two hundred yards down the road we can see the flames. They have opened a shelter at our high school here in Wickenburg. Odor of the smoke is strong in town. Area is buck brush, scrub, sort of on the line between Lower Sonoran Desert, (Mesquite, Saguaros, Ocotillos, Prickly Pear, Cholla) and Upper Sonoran Desert (Scrub Juniper. Manzanita).
