Episode Three describes the events from Sunday, June 30, 2013.   This was a very chaotic day.   This episode will deal with what occurred up until 1530 (3:30 pm), approximately one hour prior to the Granite Mountain crew's tragic death.  Deborah and Doug want to make it clear how wrong and misleading the Department of Forestry and Fire Management Serious Accident Investigation Report on the Yarnell Hill Fire (SAIR - https://dffm.az.gov/yarnell-hill-report-available) is.  

If you have not listen to Episodes One & Two, please take the time to do so prior to listening to Episode Three. It will help you walk through the events (the dominoes that fell) that led to the loss of the Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot crew, a Type One Wildland Hotshot crew.    

Any questions or comments - please contact Deborah or Doug at [email protected].  We would like to hear from you.  Truth is why we do this podcast and if you have any confusion we want to help.    

Our Investigation, Our Truth Episode Two: A Game of Catch Up - Fire Wins. Deborah Pfingston, Andrew Ashcraft's Mom, and Doug Harwood, Granite Mountain Hotshot Alumni, continue the conversation on what happened to the Granite Mountain Hotshot crew in Yarnell, Arizona.  What led to their tragic deaths and who continues to hide the truth.  

Listen to the discussion as they explain what transpired on Saturday, June 29, 2013.  The day before the crew was lost.  Deborah and Doug are passionate about getting the truth out.  Using the Serious Accident Investigation Report (SAIR - wildfiretoday.com/documents/Yarnell_Hill_Fire_report.pdf ), Arizona Department of Safety & Health Investigation (ADOSH - https://cryptome.org/2013/12/yarnell-hill-fire-13-1204.pdf), interviews from both reports, personal interviews with key people, their hands on experiences and much more to find out what really happened.
