A Sad Day for Firefighters... and all of us

Last night, up to 9 firefighters were killed in a helicopter crash here in Northern California. This occurred up near the "Buckhorn" fire, in the Shasta/Trinity area. A Sikorsky helicopter was transporting the 11 firefighters (2 crew members were on board as well), when it went down. It crashed and burned.

4 survived. Three have critical burns, and one is in serious condition also with burns.

These firefighters gave their lives protecting others and property. Please pray for these heroes, and for their families.

UPDATE: Two of the firefighters may not survive. The news just reported that their conditions were getting worse. William Coultas and Jonathan Frohreich remained in critical condition in the UCD Burn Unit Wednesday. The other victim, Michael Brown was listed in fair condition in the hospital's surgical intensive care area.
