<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",serif;color:black">“Tragically, a firefighter died when the single engine air tanker he was flying crashed during initial attack operations on the Schill Fire near Emmett Tuesday. Our hearts are
heavy. The death of a firefighter is felt deeply and emotionally in the firefighting community. Pray for comfort for the pilot's family and colleagues, and please do your part to prevent needless wildfires. I am ordering American flags and State of Idaho flags
to be flown at half-staff in honor of the brave firefighter who lost his life protecting others.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
