Today marks the 10th anniversary of the day that 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots were killed in the Yarnell Hill Fire. The fire affected each and every single resident, even though at the time they didn't know how much loss they would all suffer.
June 30 marks 10 years since a tragedy in Arizona took the lives of 19 Granite Mountain hotshots while they were fighting the Yarnell Hill Fire in northern Arizona."I just went into emergency mode, do what I had to do and making sure my neighbors got out. That where we help each other out, cause you know, and that made a difference, how everybody helped everybody out, and just exiting, allowing each car to get out, that was amazing itself," she said.
"One thing we've always stressed with the recovery group is it's a recovery group, we don't talk about the fire and why it was let go," Tidey said. The group met multiple times a week, offering support, encouragement, and whatever was needed to rebuild. "So we've rebuilt, we've got about two-thirds of the homes that burned rebuilt," Tiday said. "We had 10 uninsured homes – because we had enough donations come in, we were able to rebuild those homes free of charge for them. Basically, we gave the people what they had before except newer.""Everything through here got gutted out, so this is new, mine is new," Ma said.
"It's like the growth is coming back," she said. "It's 10 years, it's just really coming in full bloom now."
