1600 Yards to Freedom

Recommended Posts

Incredible story! Another fire crew having to deploy their fire shelters after being overcome by a crown fire. Barely a year after we lost 19 at Yarnell. But this story has a miracle ending. That helicopter pilot is a hero!

Between Remembering what happened last year, and my best friend being a and lands fire fighter, that courageous tale brought a tear to my eye. What a event!

Glad it all ended well. I have three out of four girls directly involved with the first responders. And the Yarnell 19 hit way to hard for our family. Sure glad others didn't have to go through it.

 

 

 

Take care, Willie

Glad of the outcome from this one. We still lost people this year, happens every year. Last year the total was 34, Granite Mtn was the worst incident. Our fire crews earn their money.
