Remembering the Granite Mountain Hotshots, 10 Years Later

This episode is dedicated in tribute to the Granite Mountain
Hotshots who lost their lives in the Yarnell Hill Fire on June
30, 2013: Andrew Ashcraft, Robert Caldwell,  Travis Carter,

McKee,  Sean Misner, Scott Norris, Wade Parker, John Percin
Jr., Anthony Rose, Jesse Steed, Joe Thurston, Travis Turbyfill,
