As I read about the firefighters overcome by flames yesterday battling the Esperanza Fire, it brought tears to my eyes. I can only imagine the feelings of loss the firefighters and families are going through.
From Los Angeles Times
Four firefighters were killed and another critically burned Thursday as they battled to protect homes from a wind-whipped arson fire that charred almost 24,000 acres and forced hundreds to flee mountain communities west of Palm Springs.
"These winds were devil winds. They came out of nowhere," said Pat Boss, a U.S. Forest Service spokesman. "They were fleeing for their lives … and the flames caught them."
