19 Firefighters died when a fire that started small in SW Chino - TopicsExpress



          

19 Firefighters died when a fire that started small in SW Chino Valley on Friday exploded today when 45 mph winds had moved it into thousands of acres on fire in Yarnell. Yarnell is unique, a gold prospecting town on top of a mountain ridge with one road in and out. Very popular now as a tourist town and only 35 miles from Prescott. All the firefighters were Prescott firefighters. The terrain there is impossible; extremely steep mountain terrain with huge boulders - completely impossible to get to the flames. The firefighters were seen by a helicopter and only one was able to be pulled out and saved with extremely high winds. Please everyone, pray for the firefighters and for the families, and the people who are watching their homes burn. abc15/dpp/news/region_northern_az/other/yarnell-hill-fire-has-arizona-community-concerned
