In June 2013, 19 out of 20 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots firefighting team tragically lost their lives battling the Yarnell wildfire. This highly trained, elite crew was known for their work fighting fires in remote areas. To honor their sacrifice, the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park was established. However, you will find multiple unofficial memorials like this one throughout the area.

I am glad this one of several Hotshot Memorials of the 19 heroes that died in the 2013 Yarnell fire is coming back.

This June 2023 was the 10 year anniversary since the tragic death of 19 Prescott hotshot firefighters in Yarnell. This one of the many little memorial sites was apparently removed. So, currently people made a 19 out of rocks shown in the latest photo.
Here are a few videos of the hotshots memorial in 2023 and others of interest:
