These five from Engine 57 were dedicated to the passion and commitment they had for firefighting. Forever they will be remembered for their heroic actions everyday they served and the day they made the highest sacrifice on October 26th, 2006. The five Forest Service firefighters were on Engine 57 on the San Jacinto Ranger District when they were dispatched early Thursday morning to assist on a state managed wildfire, the Esperanza Incident. They were engaged in structure protection and firefighting activities when they were overrun by flames. In our deepest thoughts, are Forest Service firefighters Mark Loutzenhiser, Jess McLean, Jason McKay, and Daniel Hoover-Najera who all tragically lost their lives in the line of duty and Firefighter Pablo Cerda who passed on October 31st due to his injuries.
