Fallen Arizona firefighters to return home

The bodies of the 19 firefighters who died in the line of duty will be taken back to Prescott in a 140-mile procession. A memorial service will be held Tuesday.



PRESCOTT, Ariz. — Nineteen hearses will traverse the streets of Phoenix and the desert highways, cutting through swaths of scrubby terrain and past small towns, carrying the bodies of 19 Prescott firefighters back to this town that, in some ways, has become a living memorial to them.
