On this date June 30th, 2013… 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots and members of the Prescott, Az. Fire Department, were killed, when they were overwhelmed by the Yarnell Hill Wildfire. This was the second deadliest firefighter loss for the US Forestry Service in 108 years. We will never forget the sacrifice made that day.

Our hearts are heavy mourning the loss of these firefighters

The U.S. Wildland Fire Service is devastated to share that three wildland firefighters lost their lives on Saturday, June 27, as part of an interagency response to the Knowles and Gore fires along the Colorado-Utah border. Additionally, two crew members were injured in the line of duty and have been transported to a hospital.

Our immediate focus is on supporting their families, friends, and fellow crewmates during this incredibly difficult time.

The U.S. Wildland Fire Service stands united with the USDA Forest Service in grief and in our unwavering support for the loved ones left behind. Their bravery, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Additional details will be shared as they are able to be released.
