These forest firefighter deaths were the first since 1994. 
I was actually in this area of Washington right after this 
happened and talked with some of those directly involved. 
Their bravery and compassion was quite moving and the 
support of those in the state and the local communities 
was inspirational.  The brothers and Father of one of the 
victims were still out fighting the very same fire!
