Saturday marks the fifth anniversary of one of the most devastating tragedies in Arizona history – the deaths of 19 hotshots during the Yarnell Hill Fire. "The Yarnell fire was one of the most tragic events in Arizona history," Gov. Doug Ducey said in a statement last June 30, which he declared Yarnell 19 Remembrance Day. "Nineteen courageous firefighters sprinted toward danger in order to keep their fellow Arizonans out of harm’s way, and no words will ever be enough to express our gratitude for their service to our state. Arizonans across the state send their thoughts, prayers, and support to their loved ones."
