I can with some certainty, say that the granite mountian crew saved houses within a few miles of mine a couple years ago, during the Monument fire. I was evacuating houses in the area I buried my patrol car in some rocks to let a crew get to the fire a few hundred feet behind me and almost got nailed by a slurry plane and a hot shot crew was the only other souls on the street.
It's a big thing for me to say I truely shed tears for the loss of those guys. I don't know if people understand the risks they take to save houses, trees, and habitat.
I guess I can say I'm honored to have worked amongst them.
