Post by n5wd »

Just coming in from Arizona, 18 or 19 firefighters have been reported killed by a wildfire they were fighting about 85 miles northwest of Pheonix.

Yikes, that is a disaster. I hope it is an erroneous report.

It is most assuredly not.

Thoughts and prayers to the families.

They were a team from the Prescott, AZ fire department that specialized in dealing with brush and forest fires. Apparently they had a major shift in wind and were overrun by the fast moving flames. Prayers for the families and their colleagues in the department.
