13 years ago today, 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the community of Yarnell during the Yarnell Hill Fire.

Their courage, selflessness, and commitment to serving others continue to inspire firefighters across Arizona and beyond. While the years pass, their legacy never fades.

Today, we pause to remember their lives, honor their sacrifice, and keep their families, friends, and fellow firefighters in our thoughts.

Gone, but never forgotten.

The Town of Raymond extends sincere thanks to Fire Chief Doug Holt for his 40 years of dedicated service with the Raymond Fire Department, including the past 13 years as Fire Chief, as he retires from his role.

Doug’s leadership, dedication, and care for residents have helped keep our community safe for decades, and we are grateful for all he has contributed.

We are also pleased to welcome Cory Powlesland as Raymond’s new Fire Chief starting June 1. Cory has served our community as Deputy Fire Chief and brings valuable experience and a strong commitment to public service as he steps into this role.

Please join us in thanking Doug for his years of service and congratulating Cory on his new position.

We are glad there were no lives lost today from this accident. Our volunteers are always ready to respond, but when we heard a bus was involved, there was a bit more urgency.

Hopefully the resilient students and drivers have no lasting affects from this incident and can move forward. We appreciate neighbors, AHS staff, school division administration, Fortis workers, and others who showed support and professionalism to help during this situation.

We are grateful to receive a grant this year again from the provincial Fire Services Training Program from Alberta Municipal Affairs.
