"...On June 27, members of the Rifle Interagency Helitack Crew spent the morning working on two fires burning in rugged red rock country on the Colorado-Utah border.....
Somewhere in the smoke below — at 3:19 p.m. — five firefighters did what every wildland firefighter trains to do: They deployed and scrambled under their fire shelters, bivouac-like sacks with an aluminum outer layer that reflects radiant heat — giving them a fighting chance in otherwise unsurvivable conditions.
