As you know, 19 Prescott firefighters were killed in the line-of duty while battling the Yarnell Hill wildfire in Arizona. One of the deceased firefighters, Anthony Rose, had ties to Illinois and lived in the northern suburbs of Chicago for a couple years before moving to Arizona with his family. His remains are being returned to the Waukegan Regional Airport on Wednesday evening as Illinois will be his final resting place and services are planned for Thursday evening in Zion.
The IAFF has made a request to assemble an honor detail of uniformed personnel at the airport on Wednesday to honor Brother Rose’s service and sacrifice. We also encourage members to attend the services and fire department walk-through on Thursday evening. Details about each are below.
