Yarnell Hill Fire in Az

[cameraman]

It isn't looking good right now but early reports are the winds changed and the fire overran a hotshot crew. Initial reports are 19 firefighters were killed. Details will probably change but it is a bad one.

Not including the 19 deaths reported in Arizona, there have been 43 firefighter fatalities reported so far in 2013, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. A total of 83 firefighters died last year while on duty.
A Facebook page in memory of the Arizona firefighters (https://www.facebook.com/InMemoryOfPrescottFirefightersLost6302013) was created Sunday night.
