    Very sad and tragic news. Whether on the ground, or in the air, wildland firefighters have a dangerous and difficult job (Hoser, I know that you know this first-hand).

    My thoughts and prayers to these individuals and their families. Rest in peace.

    This is turning out to be a bad year for firefighter LODD. There have been many multiple LODD fires this year. Stay safe and prayers to all those in AZ tonight.

    I am so sad to hear this news. Firefighters are heroes, plain and simple. My heart is heavy for thier families, and I hope and pray that no more die.

    We are all diminished by their loss.

    My heart and prayers go out to them and their families. What a horrible way to die. My son is a fire fighter with West Metro and we worry about him constantly. Ironic, I'm retired LEO and my son didn't want to be a cop because it was too dangerous.

    This is such terrible news... I'm sure that God waits for them with open arms. Selfless service of any kind deserves the highest respect.

    Just saw this on the news, sad RIP heroes.
