We hate this photo- it marks the very first time the Granite Mountain Hotshots were exploited. I have never used it but it feels fitting to use it today because our crew, our guys are being exploited again.

Exploited for a “project” most of our families were not invited to participate in nor consult for. The producer never invited us. The documentary is in “production” and he never invited us. Nor has he spoken to Brendan, 99% of crew alumni, or the Prescott Fire Department.

He is absolutely deeply connected to a man who has stopped at nothing to relentlessly tear down the legacy of the Granite Mountain Hotshots. A man who has said and written the absolute worst stuff about Eric and Jesse. He even owns property with this unconscionable human in Yarnell- a property that borders the deployment site.

And now the producer is calling me out by name on his social media. Because he’s mad that I’m fighting him. He’s mad that I dare have an opinion and feelings as the widow of one of the dead men under one of the American flags pictured above.

How dare I call him out!

How dare I demand that every family of every Granite Mountain Hotshot be given the dignity to weigh in on any documentary or movie or book?

This film does not include most of the families of our precious 19 angels, does not include Brendan, nor the Prescott Fire Department.

And please- don’t come at me saying he has spoken to most of the families because he has not. He has absolutely not. And do not come at me defending him because he’s your friend and you like him. As Eric’s next of kin- I don’t have good experiences and that should send alarm bells through the fire/Wildland fire service and every single person who supports us.

I only found out about this movie because someone I know saw his post about it on Instagram. And most of the families, Brendan and Prescott Fire only know about it because I told them.
