Bad news from Arizona.

Oh Man.....this is Horrible...breaks my heart.

"Not including the 19 deaths reported in Arizona, there have been 43 firefighter fatalities reported so far in 2013, according to the U.S." ...so damn sad..

Condolences to all the families of the fallen...and their firefighting brothers & sisters.

Yeah... 19. That number just hits so mercilessly hard... Seriously, start listing 19 of your closest friends that you know and step back, look at the list and let it sink in. A whole crew is just unimaginable.

I've posted on the other thread about how serious the fire conditions
are this year. AZ especially the Prescott area, had a rather dry, warm Spring.
Combine this with near all time record heat right now as our monsoon approaches.

Wild land firefighters, especially Hotshot crews are right on the
front lines.

It's very brushy country where this happened. I understand that
winds were very erratic (think thunderstorm downdrafts) today.

RIP my fallen brothers (and sisters?). I'm not looking forward to the dreams
tonight....
