Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of the 19 members of the Prescott Granite Mountain Hot Shots crew that perished in the Yarnell Hill Fire today. The fire stared Friday and grew from 4 to 2,000 acres today and is located is in Yavapai County approximately 85 miles northwest of Phoenix. Details are still coming in but it appears the firefighters had to deploy their fire shelters and were overcome by the fire. It appears that this fire was started by lightning. This tragedy is now the deadliest fire in the last 30 years in the United States.

Our hearts go out to everyone involved in the Yarnell Hill Fire.
