13 years ago today, 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the community of Yarnell during the Yarnell Hill Fire.
Gone, but never forgotten.
45 members from AZTF-1 have deployed to the east coast to assist with rescue and recovery efforts in the affected areas. FEMA made the request earlier this morning and the team departed this afternoon as part of a Type 3 response.
At 7:28 a.m., #PHXFire Regional Dispatch broadcast a "special call, marking the fall of the WTC's north tower. We honor the 343 fallen FDNY heroes, first responders and civilians through our radio call and moment of silence. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
����FEMA ACTIVATION OF AZ-TF1🚨
51 members of #PHXFire Arizona Task Force 1 has received an Activation Order to assist in Ruidoso, New Mexico. They will work to locate any remaining victims and assist as conditions change with the South Fork Wildfire, rain and potential flooding.
Join us in celebrating Captain Jeff 'JT' Bascue's retirement from #PHXFire! 🎉 His dedication with the Homeland Defense Bureau ensured the safety of major events like the Final Four and Super Bowl. Thank you, Captain Bascue, for your service and commitment to our community! 🔥
Days after 9/11, the #WorldSeries took place in #NYC and #PHX. United in tragedy, the country came together. #PHXFire Captains Caskey and McCracken describe what it was like in 2001 and how it feels today to have the @Dbacks back in the World Series. #EmbraceTheChaos
THEY DID IT!!! The @dbacks are headed to the World Series!
#PHXFire is proud to back the D-Backs on as they chase the championship. Way to make your hometown proud. Go D-backs! #EmbraceTheChaos
@DrewJNoreen@PHXFire Because that’s the perfect time to do them. With the correct temperatures, relative humidity levels & wind directions you are able to effectively “control” the fire much better. Clearing out potentially hazardous areas ahead of the next fire season.
🚨 MISSING 🚨 Please help #PHXFire find Moxie, a member of the Arizona Search Dog team for FEMA and the Phoenix Fire Department. She went missing last night around 7:30pm in Goodyear, near 178th ave and Sherman street. (Citrus and Yuma)
It's been ten years since we lost our 19 brothers. Our thoughts are always with their families & wildland firefighting community. Take care of yourselves today & have each other's back. #NeverForget#GraniteMountainHotshots#AZFire#AZForestry
@JimmyCrawley Bayern Munich is the smart pick, best team depth, won it last year and playing well this year again, I like PSG a lot & think they’re going to be hard to beat over a home/away series, Barcelona sucks, Madrid isn’t healthy, don’t sleep on Athletico.
@JimmyCrawley Well Man U isn’t in the champions league so I’d stay away from them, Chelsea just fired their coach so 50/50 how that’ll go, Liverpool’s been struggling lately (tons in injuries) but 100 focused on the CL.
