    Screw THAT noise. They get plenty of credit from those that know what they face every time they suit up.

    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.

    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

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

    Thanks for the heads up about this movie.

    This just appeared on my FB:

    Cottonwood Arizona Police Department

    4 hrs ·

    Today (06/30/2018) at 1642 hours (4:42 pm) Fire Dispatch will send tones, an announcement and a moment of silence in remembrance of the Granite Mountain 19 Hotshots.
    The announcement: “At this time, 5 years ago today, the fire service lost 19 of its best in the hills above Yarnell. We respectfully ask that all members of our local fire agencies take a moment of silence to commemorate the lives of the 19 Granite Mountain Hot Shots.”
    Pause….19 seconds
    “Thank you Granite Mountain….we’ll take it from here” … “Alarm Clear 1642 hours.”
