View Comments YARNELL — Amid a drought and an intense wildfire season, the delicate aroma of rain and the rumble of thunder felt appropriately timed for the remembrance event and dedication ceremony of the Yarnell Hill Fire Memorial Park. Eight years after the unsettling deaths of the 19 crew members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots of Prescott, the community impacted by the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire gathered together Wednesday afternoon to remember those firefighters and officially dedicate the memorial park. To organizers and community members, the park stands as a symbol of a community healing from a devastating wildfire and as a sign of thanks to those who fought to protect Yarnell and surrounding communities.
