From the Secret List:

Hey...

A firefighter died yesterday in Groveland, CA-and six others were injured while working a wildfire in Stanislaus National Forest. The 7 firefighters were overrun by flames while on the initial attack in the Tuolumne River Canyon. Of the six survivors, one suffered moderate injuries, the rest minor injuries.

As always-our hearts and prayers go out to all involved.

Take Care-BE CAREFUL,
