The 19 were Hotshots and a large part of the Prescott, Arizona fire department and when the blaze overtook them they deployed the so-called fire protection tents...

They were declared missing and later found dead. One lone survivor was not at the location and six others on a fire vehicle have been confirned okay.

Officials said the blaze was caused by lightning and the death toll is one of the highest in Arizona history.
