Support to Families of Firefighters in Arizona wildfire TragedyThe June 30 tragedy in Yarnell, Arizona marked the greatest loss of firefighters during a wildfire since 1933. The Interagency Hotshot crew – considered an elite group of firefighters – lost all but one of their 20-person team.
ATX Air Services, formed in early 2013, is locat-ed on the southeastern edge of the Fort Worth Alliance Airport. When hearing of the lives lost to the wildfire, ATX Air Services immediately offered their support to the Wildland Firefighter Association. Plans were made to transport several of the fallen firefighters’ families to and from the memorial service in Prescott, Arizona and bring their sons back home.
The team then flew to the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise. The NIFC had partnered with the Wildland Firefighter Foundation to create the Wildland Firefighter Monument, a 2,000-pound, 10-foot-tall bronze statue and wanted to transport the statue to the Prescott memorial service. The team transported the statue, the DeFord family and several Foundation members to their next stop in Arizona – where a 20-person Hotshot crew came together to unload the statue.
On Wednesday, July 8, the ATX team and the Honor Guard began an emotional journey with three families, each carrying a son home to pro-cessions of more than 30 firefighters and bands of bagpipers. Three days later, upon mission complete, the emotionally taxed and solemn crew made the final journey back to AllianceTexas.
Aligning with the longstanding commitment of the Perot family and Hillwood Development Company to help those in need, this will not be the last volunteer effort for ATX Air Services.

Deciding when an injury or illness rises to the level of a medical emergency can
sometimes be tricky. How do you know if the sudden abdominal pain that woke you at 3 am warrants a trip to the emergency department (ED)?
The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) has developed a list of warning signs to help you know when it’s time to get to the nearest ER. This list and more tips for navigating the ED can be found on the ACEP’s website: www.emergencycareforyou.org
• Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath
• Chest or upper abdominal pain or pressure
• Fainting, sudden dizziness, weak-ness
• Changes in vision
• Confusion or changes in mental status
• Any sudden or severe pain
• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhea
• Coughing or vomiting blood
• Suicidal feelings
• Difficulty speaking
• Shortness of breath
• Unusual abdominal pain
Emergency Care Close to Home - Since opening its doors a year ago, Texas Health Alliance’s Emergency Department has grown quickly. In fact, hospital officials anticipate approximately 24,000 patients will have been cared for in the ED by the end of its first year. That’s more vis-its than people who live in Saginaw!
