> In Peeples Valley yesterday near Yarnell, a fast-moving wildfire with
> 15-20 foot high flames overran 19 firefighters, 18 of whom were from the
> Granite Mountain Hotshots of Prescott. All 19 had deployed their fire
> shelters, but the combination of heat, smoke, and oxygen deprivation took
> it's toll.
>
> The front section of the Phoenix newspaper is full of stories
> surrounding this. It's the greatest single loss of life due to a wildfire
> in this state, and one of the largest losses of firefighters involved with
> a wildfire in US history.
