    Thank you for catching up with Brendan. I wonder from time to time how he along with the family members are doing. Keep strong, Brendan, and God bless every one of those fallen heroes.

    I’ve never forgotten Brendan or the rest of the hot shots.
    Glad to see that he’s still here with us and making a good life for himself one day at a time.
    Godspeed

    My son and I were watching that fire from our trailer in Congress Arizona not knowing 19 would give their lives fighting that fire. Watching this made me cry all over again! RIP to those that lost their lives and God bless you Brad for being a victim of the aftermath, God be with you as well!!

    What a traumatic thing to go through and it’s understandable that he went off the rails. However, he is giving back hope to others and he’s a survivor. ❤

    One of the sad things is this fire was a perfect storm of circumstances. The heat and humidity of the air, the dryness of the terrain, and the conditions of the fire itself were just right for the fire to actually whip up its own weather system, which drove it far faster than anyone expected. This doesnt happen often, but if the circumstances are just right, its deadly.
    All we can do is wish it never happened, and remember our fallen Hotshots as they deserve

    I saw the last UA-cam video about how they are using fire tents that are of old technology while NASA has fire proof materials that can withstand 5000 degrees temperatures. These Hotshots need far better protections so that no matter what temperature this fire fighters have to face they can survive. Maybe with better satellites they can track the fires and give the firemen better warning, but still there are so many variables when it comes to fires that you can count on all of them.

    I’ve watched videos on this tragedy many times over the years and it never ceases to make me cry. With all the advances in science these days, I hope they come up with something better to help protect firefighters like this that’s better than a thin piece of fire proof material. I don’t think it’s catching on fire that’s the worst risk, but more so the intense heat itself.
    If not something better for protection than at least better communication devices so this doesn’t happen again.
    Bless this man and the families of those who were lost.

    I am watching from a few miles down the hill in Arizona as a wildfire burns not 3 miles from my home in identical rough terrain. Thanks be to God, there's no wind today. But in grateful humility, my heart goes out to the families of these heroes. We think about your firefighter. We pray for you. Thank you. Thank you for your unfathomable sacrifice. Our hearts break for you. The people of Arizona look on that site as sacred ground, and as long as wildfires burn in Arizona, we will never forget you.

    What he went through with survivor's guilt, he could have easily went down and out, no matter what people were telling him. It was pure luck he was found while he was trying to evacuate, otherwise he would have died alone in that blaze. That wild wind change was a 1 in a million occurrence. I am so glad he kept fighting and has found a life worth living.

    Come on now Brendan, you heard everything on your GMHS Crew Net radio. EVERYTHING! You know what really happened and why on June 30, 2013, with the several rogue firing operations and EM threatening Steed to bring the Crew down the hill. How much longer are you going to continue to live the lie to all of us. Give yourself grace and the permission to honor the men that died that day - your Brothers - and tell the truth, to be a man and a Father. And a real Hot Shot Brother.
