"The wildland fire community, and the nation, deeply mourns the loss of nineteen firefighters from Prescott Fire Department's Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew.  Even as we mourn this tragic loss we must also remember and honor the other firefighters who have perished in the line of duty on other wildland fires this year.

 

The 2013 fire season is well underway and is likely to continue at a high intensity level for several more months.  With that in mind, NMAC requests that all wildland fire personnel in the United States observe an Operational Pause in Remembrance on the morning of Wednesday, July 3." http://wildfirelessons.net/documents/NMAC_Operational_Pause.pdf

Statement by the President on the Wildfire in Arizona

Michelle and I join all Americans in sending our thoughts and prayers to the families of these brave firefighters and all whose lives have been upended by this terrible tragedy. Yesterday, nineteen firefighters were killed in the line of duty while fighting a wildfire outside Yarnell, Arizona. They were heroes -- highly-skilled professionals who, like so many across our country do every day, selflessly put themselves in harm's way to protect the lives and property of fellow citizens they would never meet.http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/07/01/statement-president-wildfire-arizona
