    On this day in 2013, 19 members of the #GraniteMountainHotshots lost their lives in the #YarnellHillFire. We remember these men - husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, fellow firefighters - who answered the call to protect their community and residents. #Yarnell19 #Yarnell

    In a span of 90 minutes, TFD responded to over 25 monsoon calls, alongside our auto aid partners. 15 of those calls involved stranded drivers or those stuck in swift moving water. One of those calls involved an adult female found at Camp Lowell and Swan in the Rillito River.
