Arrival in Missoula

Justin Beebe arrived back to Missoula today from Las Vegas on a U.S. Forest Service aircraft. He was accompanied by fellow Hotshot crewmembers and USFS Honor Guard members. After arriving at the Missoula airport this afternoon, he was escorted to a funeral home in Missoula where he will rest until the Memorial Service on Saturday.

A message from the Chief

We are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Justin Beebe, a firefighter with the Lolo Hotshot Crew based in Missoula, Montana. Justin lost his life Saturday, August 13, while fighting the Strawberry Fire in Great Basin National Park in Nevada.

Our deepest condolences go out to Justin’s family, those he worked with, and his friends.

It takes great courage to be the person willing to fight wildland fires. Yet despite the courage it takes to work in this profession, it does not lessen the sadness we feel when we lose one of our own.

As details become available we will pass them on, but for now I ask that you keep Justin’s family and those close to him in your thoughts.

To those touched by this heart-wrenching event, please know we are thinking of you; we are here for you and we are sending you our support in this time of loss.

Chief
Tidwell
