2Bells Fire Buff

Additional moments from Fire on Kensington on August 5th, 2023.
1) Ladder 13 arriving and grabbing their hooks.

2) the Chauffeur of Engine 33 and the Officer of Engine 31 work to reposition a 2 1/2” line.

3) heading for the Air Truck after putting in some work.

The third party app we were using to schedule the posts of the Granite Mountain Hotshots let us down, and in turn, we let our followers down.
Regardless, today marks ten long years since the Yarnell Hill Fire robbed us of some of the greatest men to walk the earth. Ten years, but for some, they were here what feels like yesterday.

These men are not heroes for how they died, but for how they lived.

Esse quam videri. To be, rather than to seem.
