    Justin and I saw the movie Saturday. So very sad, when one knows that it is based upon what really happened to those men..

    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.
