Two firefighters were killed in a crash on State Route 260 between Show Low and Heber-Overgaard Sunday night.
They have been identified as 31-year-old Brenna Kulikowski and 21-year-old Damon Thompson.
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, at 10:14 p.m. a vehicle containing only the driver was traveling west when it crossed the center line and collided head-on with a Timber Mesa Fire and Medical district ambulance heading in the opposite direction.
All three people involved in the crash were pronounced dead at the scene. The third person has not yet been identified.
Timber Mesa officials say Thompson was 15 days from finishing his first year with the district.
"Our entire organization is grieving the loss of our team members," wrote the district in a social media post Monday. "We ask for privacy and compassion as we support the families, co-workers, and community during this very difficult time."
DPS is investigating the crash and it isn’t known why the driver crossed the center line.
In a social media post Monday, Gov. Katie Hobbs wrote, "I’m heartbroken to learn two brave firefighters lost their lives in a tragic crash near Show Low. These heroes dedicated themselves to protecting our communities, and my thoughts are with their families, loved ones, and fellow first responders during this difficult time."
