Saw this today...still choked up.

Justin and I saw the movie Saturday. So very sad, when one knows that it is based upon what really happened to those men..
Being burned to death.. That is a very dangerous job and no way would I ever think of doing.--Tyr

That's on the Yarnell hotshots? I want to see it, I've read a lot about the firefighters, the survivor, and the impact on the community.

Granite Mountain HotShots but they died in the Yarnell fire. They're based out of Prescott so there were really close to where you're at.

I had never heard of this sad story and what happened, I must have been under a rock that month. :(

I read MANY stories today, and watched endless videos of the funeral procession of so many hearses coming "home". So sad. :(

I'm interested in seeing it. Firefighters IMO don't get enough credit. They jump straight into the Apocalypse.

Yes, Prescott is working on a memorial site for them. That was such a grave loss to a smallish community. Prescott is 'big' around here, but still around 45k.

Fire can spread VERY fast. Most folks would underestimate how quickly the fire can spread and jump around during events like happened here. You couldn't pay me enough to fight fires like that, let alone volunteer.

I'd rather re-deploy back to SW Asia or Africa. It's safer.

It was extremely hard to watch because I knew the story and because of all the fires in my hometown in Sonoma County. Watching the fire scenes and imagining it racing through my old neighborhoods was heart wrenching.

Great movie.

Great movie.Did the fires ever get around Monterey/Ft Ord? Lived there 3 different times as a kid. The old man was a linguist in the USAF. I kinda liked it there. Odd, all that 60s-early 70s hippy crap was going on there all three times I lived there and I never knew it :laugh:

I always wait until they come out on disc, hopefully 4K.

Thanks for the heads up about this movie.
