REMEMBERING FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS

30 years ago since the South Canyon Fire claimed the lives of nine Prineville Hotshots on Storm King Mountain photo 1

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — 30 years ago today, 14 firefighters,
including nine members of the
Prineville Hotshots, lost their
lives in the Storm King Mountain fire in Glenwood Springs,
Colorado.

On July 6th, a dry cold front moved through the area,
increasing the winds and activity.

The fire quickly progressed past the fire lines and began to
close in on the firefighter’s location to the west and began
to race toward them up the steep terrain.
