Rest In Peace all wildland firefighters that gave their lives to protect people & landscapes

Rest in Peace with Honor for these hero HotShot Fire Fighters.

If you live or have lived in the Mountain West, you most likely know or have come in contact with
the brave men and women who fight forest fires.

The HotShots are the best of the best both in training and physical conditioning.

They hike in over the most difficult conditions with heavy loads, do clearing and fire lines.

Then hike out.

Their protection failed them and that is very sad. They will be remembered by fire fighters every where.

Please send out your thoughts and prayers for their families and loved ones.
