The fire fighters were on their way to the Hayman fire, Colorado’s largest fire during the 2002 fire season. This fire raged from June 8th to July 2nd, burned 137,760 acres, 133 homes and 466 out buildings were lost. Total costs were estimated at $40 million dollars. The fire fighters were part of the Grayback No. 80 crew out of La Grande, Oregon.
