glad that in the waldo canyon fire last year, and the black forest fire this year, and now the west fork fire so far, that we did not lose any of these brave people.

your post also reminded me that this week is the 19th anniversary (6 july) of the storm king mountain fire outside glenwood springs, where 14 firefighters (12 smokejumpers and 2 pilots) died.
