19 of the fire shelters were deployed, some of the firefighters were later found in the shelters and some outside. Something must have happened unexpectedly fast, like the wind changing directions. I can't imagine what it would be like to huddle under one of those shelters - closest thing to an oven I suppose with only superheated air to breathe. My deepest condolences to the families.
