Month: June 2019

Granite Mountain Hotshots at the alligator juniper they saved during the Doce Fire. The tree is believed to be the world's oldest and largest alligator juniper. Chris MacKenzie (photographer) and Eric Marsh are not pictured. I recognize Andrew Ashcraft and Brendan McDonough (bottom, 2nd and 3rd from left). If anyone can identify the other hotshots, please let me know.
