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

It is most assuredly not.

Thoughts and prayers to the families.

How awful.

Terrible. Prayers for their 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.

My prayers for their souls and also for their families in this time of grief.
