Wildland Firefighter- Rick Lupe LODD
PHOENIX (AP) - A firefighter widely credited with helping save
Show Low from the ravages of last year's Rodeo-Chediski fire died
Thursday of injuries suffered in a prescribed burn.
Rick Lupe, 43, had been hospitalized for more than a month after
he suffered third-degree burns over 40 percent of his body during a
prescribed burn operation near Whiteriver on the Fort Apache Indian
Reservation.
Among Mr. Lupe’s survivors are his wife, Evelyn, and three sons, Sean, Daniel and Brent.
I extend my sincere condolences to Rick's family, friends and fellow firefighters. May our dear brother rest in everlasting peace!
