Additionally, for those who want to contribute,
X-treme Apparel of Phoenix has made t-shirts honoring the 19 firefighters who perished while fighting the Yarnell Hill Fire. The t-shirts cost $10 (plus tax and shipping) and $7 goes directly to the Family Fund for families of the Granite Mountain Hotshots.
As the Yarnell fire continues to burn, there are many families who have lost homes and some who still don't know if their homes are still standing or not. The American Red Cross Grand Canyon Chapter has set up two shelters in the area. For information on how you can help the victims, here is information from KPHO - CBS 5.
