That's five wildland firefighter fatalities in the space of three weeks.  I had just reported the deaths of USFS firefighters Capt Ruhl and Mike Hallenbeck to the 1,000 firefighters on the Gasquet Complex.  They died a week apart.  I know exactly what the families, co-workers and firefighters assigned to their forests and fires are going through.  They still have to keep going in spite of the tragedy.

Been through that, unfortunately.
My heart goes out to the families and crews.
