Just guessing, but a quick change in wind and kindling that goes up like the Hindenburg could easily lead to them becoming encircled.

This. And intense wildfires make their own weather. Microbursts where a column of rising air collapses to the ground and creates severe winds in all directions, even counter to the prevailing winds, are not uncommon. Prevailing winds are consistently from one direction and pushing the fire then all of a sudden a microburst either accelerates the fire in the same direction or forces it in another direction. May have been what happened here. So sad to think of the loss of young life. May God give their loved ones the strength to cope with this tragic loss.

Ugh. Terrible news.
I can't even wrap my mind around how something like this could happen in the middle of wilderness. Was there a huge explosion or something? I just don't understand how 18 firefighters could die at once in something like this. In an enclosed building, I could see it, but I just don't understand this one. |

Alot of times it isn't the fire that gets you. It is the smoke.
