Firefighters Are Killed
Battling
Arizona Wildfire
June 30,
2013
The New York Times
By REUTERS
PHOENIX —
Nineteen firefighters were killed battling a fast-moving wildfire menacing a
small town in central Arizona, the United States Wildland Fire Aviation Service
said on Sunday.
The firefighters died fighting the Yarnell Hill Fire, near the small town of
Yarnell about 80 miles northwest of Phoenix, the service said in a Facebook
post.
“It has been confirmed that 19 Wildland firefighters have lost their lives on
the Yarnell Hill fire Arizona,” the post said. “I ask for prayers for the
families and friends of these brave men and women.”
The fire has burned about 1,000 acres of chapparal and grass since Friday amid
tinder-dry heat wave conditions, leading to scores of evacuations near Yarnell.
