Very tragic and thoughts and prayers to the family.
If I understand things correctly, this was the only local Hotshots in the country. All other Hotshots are attached to a federal agency like the NPS, BIA, USFS etc. This was also a rather small fire, and management was local and had not reverted to the Inter-agrecy Fire Management team?

The fire was over 8000 acres, at least 50 structures, and over 500 lives threatened by the fire. I'd say that it was not a small fire. Not sure what difference your questions make?

Can't wait for hunting season to start so we can get some good news on here for a change.What a horrible situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families.
This is my second season on the Entiat Hotshots, very sad day for the wildland community. We held a fundraiser BBQ in Cashmere today and the support was overwhelming. I am proud and honored to work in such a supportive community and am proud to say we raised just over $6,500.00 today, all of which will go directly to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. They deal directly with these situations and are a top notch non profit organization. Prayers go out to all those involved.

I've been with the Union Hotshots 8 years. We're raising money for the foundation as well. They're going to need all the help they can get. Stay safe brother...keep that chin up!
