I wrote this song in memory of the wildland firefighters that died at South Canyon Colorado in 1994. The melody is the last song on the Black Irish band 17th CD, "Into the Fire".
With the help of Howard Hudiburg and the Texas State Smyphony I was able to record it live in Texas. A special tahnks to Michael Martin Murphey who introduced me to Howard.
One of my favorite audiobooks is Sebastian Junger's "Fire". Blowup is the title of the the short that tells the story of the South Canyon fire. Loved the music.
