The City of Prescott will commemorate the anniversary of the deaths of 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots next week and mark the completion of a memorial in their honor.
The long-awaited monument on the Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza features a bronze statue of a lone Hotshot in front of granite slabs inscribed with the names of the firefighters who died while working to contain the 2013 Yarnell Hill wildfire.
A dedication ceremony will be held at the Cortez Street memorial site at 3:45 p.m. on June 30.
After the ceremony, the courthouse bells will ring 19 times at 4:42 p.m. — the time the 19 wildland firefighters died.
