Remembering The Granite Mountain Hotshots

Nineteen members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots — the elite crew of firefighters based in Prescott, Ariz. — died while battling a wildfire in Yarnell Hills, Arizona.

Six members of the elite group of firefighters who were killed, regularly worked out together at the Captain Crossfit Gym, which is just down the street from the hotshot crew’s headquarters.

Tony Burris, a trainer at the gym, was friendly with the six men.

Guest:

  • Tony Burris, trainer at the Captain Crossfit in Prescott, Ariz.
