My heart really goes out to this guy. The media is going to portray his actions as somehow wrong even though he followed the procedures that had worked in the past..He has my prayers to cope with this almost unimaginable tragedy.

I hope the media will back off.

He will be the 20th victim. Either guilt or pressure will kill him.
It’s not going to be easy for him.

Being a survivor, much less sole survivor, of a close knit crew like that will be with Mr. McDonough for life. I pray he has the faith and support he will surely need.

Almighty Father, I ask you bring peace to this man, the realization that he did what he could, the calm of spirit which allows him to endure any unfounded attack, from within or without, and soothe the pain of the loss of his brethren. I ask this in the Name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.

Well in this case the fire wasn’t on federal land, and it was in brush/scrubland, not forest. There’s no way to “manage” that stuff. It grows too fast to keep cleared.

One of the jobs of the lookout is to observe and report on the weather... my niece fought fires in WA., and had her turn pulling lookout duties. Her charge, was ultimately the crew’s well being. She was proud of reaching this position in her career, and deeply aware of the enormous responsibility that fell on her shoulders. Our conversation was one that gave me pause and went into the memory bank for lifetime recall.

The media are jackals. They will try everything to get to this guy. I feel so sorry for him. May his heart achieve some peace sooner than later.
