AZ House Speaker on fire: Nobody will go untouched

Arizona House Speaker Andy Tobin opens up about the “terrible accident” involving 19 firefighters who were killed in the Yarnell, Arizona wildfire. This tragedy marks the highest number of firefighters killed since 9/11.

“This is a very close-knit community. You know them or you know somebody who knows them,” Tobin said. “The police officer that drove me to Yarnell earlier today, leaned over to tell me that he had just gotten a call that his friend who was in the fire was killed. So nobody here in this community will go untouched by this.”

These 19 firefighters were a part of special operations crew at the Prescott Fire Department.
