June 28, 2013 was a fateful day.
Around 5:36 pm MST nineteen firefighters of Arizona's Granite Mountain Hotshots team were killed when a raging lightning-sparked wildfire racing uphill suddenly overtook their exposed position.
Although personal emergency shelters were deployed many were overcome before they could be used. There were no survivors.
Mistakes were made. Shifting winds, distance and poor communications contributed to their demise.
Here is the astrology chart of the tragedy.
Time per Wiki, news media.
Compare this chart to the 1933 Griffith Park Wildfire when 29-33 workers died while clearing brush in a canyon near Los Angeles, CA.
The fatal inferno was caused by piled debris that caught fire and spread out of control.
