MESA COUNTY, Co. – A 38-year-old Clinton Township woman was among three firefighters who were killed on Saturday while responding to a wildfire in western Colorado near the Utah border. Emily Barker, a member of the U.S. Forest Service Rifle Helitack crew, was assigned to the Knowles and Gore fires when a fast-moving burnover incident led to emergency conditions, trapping her and several other first responders. Nick Hutcherson, 27, of Glendale, Ariz., and Sydney Watson, 26, of Warrior, Ala., were also killed. Hutcherson was a member of the U.S. Forest Service Kaibab National Forest, and Watson was assigned to the U.S. Wildland Fire Service Rifle Helitack. All three were dispatched to the fire as part of the helitack crew to quickly respond and assess a wildfire. …Two other firefighters on the crew survived and are being treated for injuries. “This is an incredibly difficult moment for the entire wildland fire community,” said Forest Service Deputy Chief Sarah Fisher.
