Storm King Mountain. On July 6 1994 a fire killed 12 wildfire fighter and 2 helitech on Storm King Mountain in CO. As a part of our training we hiked to their memorials. Its a sad story and a wake up call to the dangers involved in wild land fire. Long story short they broke 8 of the 10 standard fire fighting orders and 12 of the watch out situations that we abide by. A cold front blow the fire at 35 feet per second and they made it within 200ft of safety. Needless to say the mostly jovial nosey group was very quiet today.
