πŸ”₯πŸ™ #OnThisDay in 2013, we honor the memory of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who died in the line of duty while battling the Yarnell Hill Fire near Prescott, Arizona. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

#GraniteMountainHotshots

Three wildland fire fighters died yesterday battling the Snyder Fire in Colorado.

They were doing the dangerous work fire fighters do: protecting communities in unforgiving conditions.

The IAFF extends our condolences to their families, friends, and crews.

πŸ”₯ Our #union never rests.

Everything #firefighters and emergency medical workers have today, they built together.
