It's been 10 years since the tragedy of the Yarnell Hill wildfire but for the families of the Granite Mountain Hotshots that day plays on forever. MORE ⬇️
"Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday," says Juliann Ashcraft."Other times it feels like it was a lifetime ago, just because so much has happened. But you know, the emotion of it is still so real and so raw inside."
"The last I heard from him was when it was lunchtime and you know he sent me this message in all caps that just said: I LOVE YOU JULIANN," says Ashcraft."Right across the bottom of the TV, at the time they had it incorrect. It said, '18 hotshots dead.' Of course, we know there was 19 but I know how many men are on the crew. So, even then I felt right away the impact. Like, I just knew my life was totally upended in that moment," says Ashcraft.
It's been a tough road for the family but a bus tour across the country in 2015 helped them heal. They spent time meeting some of the people who reached out to them with messages of support.
