Never forgotten ❤️

"Out of the ashes of Storm King, rose the Wildland Firefighter Foundation."

The tragedy of the South Canyon fire, on July 6th, 1994, was one of many the firefighting community will never forget. On that day, 14 brave firefighters lost their lives on Storm King Mountain.

A woman by the name of Vicki Minor decided then that she would dedicate herself to help the families of those who've lost their lives battling fire. As a result of her efforts, the Wildland Firefighter Foundation was born.

Let us not forget the names and faces of the men and women that lost their lives that day.

Jim Thrash - Roger Roth - Richard Tyler - Don Mackey - Robert Browning - Kathi Beck - Tamera Bickett - Scott Blecha - Levi Brinkley - Douglas Dunbar - Terri Hagen - Bonnie Holtby - Rob Johnson - Jon Kelso

You will never be forgotten. ❤️
