Yarnell Hill Fire Documentary
On June 30, 2013, 19 firefighters from the
Granite Mountain Hotshots crew were
fighting a wildfire near Yarnell, Arizona
when they became overrun by the fire and
lost their lives. This Yarnell Fire
documentary explores how the fire began,
why it spread in the unpredictable way
that it did, and what made the hotshots
crew leave the safety of the black area
(already burned area) they had been in.
Several widows of the men speak, in
addition to the lone survivor of the
Yarnell Hill Fire tragedy, Brendan
McDonough.
