Today we remember the 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots who lost their lives 9 years ago today while protecting their community on the Yarnell Hill Fire. We join with the entire wildland fire community in honoring their dedication and sacrifice.

New data shows that the US has had more wildfires in 2022 than ANY OTHER YEAR in the past 10 years, and summer hasn't even officially started
The report from @corneatech also finds that the ongoing New Mexico wildfires have burned an area larger than NYC and Los Angeles combined
Exciting news! Cornea is now a NASPO Cloud Solutions approved vendor through @Carahsoft. This is an important step forward in our goal of making statewide procurement of our products fast, easy and transparent. #wildfire #MachineLearning
