Firefighter movie with a 3Gen C&C in it.

[Wayne M.]

Was just watching some Olympics, waiting for Curling to come on. So this Fios On-Demand spot comes on about a Firefighter movie based on a true story, and what seems like the prime responder vehicle is a 3 Gen C&C. It looks good and I'm looking to watch it soon- maybe tonight.

Yarnell is a neighboring community to ours. In the aftermath, our dealership was approached to provide UTVs to help shuttle the families to a makeshift memorial set up near the actual site where they perished. I reached out to some of my SAR friends and we provided a few machines. We simply assisted Yarnell Fire and other agencies. We were based out of the ranch that was the hotshots' "safe zone". It had miraculously survived the fire, though the windows in the barn were deformed from heat, and huge boulders nearby had sluffed off their surface. We set up pop-ups and chairs, and the hot-shot's chaplain said a prayer. There was not a dry eye to be found. Some of the family members only stayed a few minutes, and some sat in quiet contemplation for a long time. It was a moving experience. So much so that I did not go to see the movie. Here are a couple photos from that day. Out of respect, I did not take any photos in the direction of where they were found.

Nice of you guys to do that. I am ex fire and just lived through the Lilac fire out here in San Diego Cal and helped save homes on our street . Watched the movie very well done and out of respect skipped the whole memorial part of it . Hard to fathom what those guys went through.

Wife saw the previews and mentioned it to me, pretty sure I do not care to see it as well. Now retired after 29 years.

Probably the single most tragic event in Arizona's wildland fire fighting history. It impacted our state like a hammer blow, never to be forgotten. No desire to talk anyone into seeing the movie, but for me it was cathartic, answering questions about how and why it happened in a way that honored the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshot firefighters who lost their lives while illustrating just how dangerous and unpredictable the job of fighting wildland fires can be.

Watched the movie last night. Terribly saddened by the story. Truly brave men perished in that tragedy. Very hard to watch and even harder to hold back a tear.
