For two decades United Fire has recognized individuals who exemplify what it means to be a real hero. In crisis situations, when others can’t see clearly through the smoke, only focused and experienced fire fighters can respond to danger, protect property, and save lives.
The award this year will illustrate outstanding achievements and incredible sacrifices made by an exceptional team of men. During the opening ceremonies we will also revisit the 40 Year history of the Arizona State Fire School and the anniversary of the Kingman BLEVE disaster, which up until the Yarnell Hill Fire and the death of 19 Hotshots was the largest one time loss of firefighter lives in Arizona. The impact of this tragic event on the Town of Yarnell and their small fire department will also be revealed and how ordinary people have stepped forward to help.
