The Storm King Firefighters Memorial in Glenwood Springs commemorates the 14 firefighters who died on July 6, 1994, during the devastating wildfire on Storm King Mountain. A sudden change in weather caused the fire to spread rapidly, encircling the firefighters. In their memory, a challenging hiking trail has been constructed to the site of the incident, where 14 crosses mark their final stand. A monument bearing their names and stories also stands in Two Rivers Park. The disaster led to significant improvements in fire safety and remains a powerful symbol of courage, sacrifice, and remembrance.
