19 Firefighters Dead

Oh my god

YARNELL, Ariz. (AP) — Gusty, hot winds blew an Arizona blaze out of control Sunday in a forest northwest of Phoenix, overtaking and killing 19 members of an elite fire crew in the deadliest wildfire involving firefighters in the U.S. for at least 30 years.

Those poor folks.

    It’s a dangerous profession.

    Requiescat in pace, fire fighters. May your families find consolation and peace in this time of loss and grief.
