On July 6, 1994, Kimberly Lightley (pictured) and nineteen of her fellow firefighters from the Oregon-based Prineville Hotshots responded to a blaze known as the South Canyon Wildfire in Colorado. By the end of the day, nine of them had lost their lives.
Now a Critical Incident Specialist with the United States Department of Agriculture - Forest Service, Fire and Aviation Management, Ms. Lightley tells the story of that day to organizations around the country as a reminder of the serious nature of a firefighter’s job and the training it requires. Furthermore, the experience allows her to give her audience a first-hand account of stress management while encountering extreme situations. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Desiree King)
