I went to a family funeral/ "celebration of life" this week and Pastor Kinglsey O. Palmer gets "keyword" credit for the title of this post: ( https://www.yarnellhillfirerevelations.com/single-post/2018/08/30/Are-You-Wondering-Why-It-Is-Taking-Me-So-Long-To-Post-At-Times-Are-We-Ready-To-Drop-The-Dash---Are-We-Ready-For-The-Commas-Or-Finally-Have-We-Said-Enough-And-Now-We-Are-Finally-Ready-For-The-Exclamation-Point-Right-Right )

He stated "Something can come good from bad." and changing the dash to comma then exclamation point from sunrise to sunset or as he said it "Son"set. We will miss you Irene dearly. It also raised awareness again to YH Fire and all the deaths since 2013...all the cancers...from pancreatic to throat to so many types...even extended to Peeples Valley areas.

Let's talk Peeples Valley...

Peeples Valley Fire Department; a 1.54 acres unmanned station - who has two Fire Chiefs in the past two - plus years that have really not done their job when it pertains to my public records request. They are always rerouting me telling me that the State has it because they were contracted by State but then BLM and State Forestry shared with me the Peeples Valley Fire Department/District are the custodians to their own records.

8-28-18 from 4:04pm - 6:29pm I got some incoming, encouraging and uplifting "reminder" texts: "God is always there. Be strong. I love you for what you are doing. It really matters. Thank You." ... "You know what to do in your heart. I trust you and support you." ... "Stay strong, my friend. These times will challenge and frustrate you. Hold the course. Your motivation is true. We love you for that. The dead are counting on you. Thank you." ... "...You are one of a kind, Joy...keep up the good work. Thanks for caring for the little guy. You're a treasure!" ... "You have the world's greatest husband..." ...We are all worthy of God's Love..." ... "You are on target." ..."You make me very happy we met and I'm proud of you for all things you are doing to ensure truth is shown" ... "...forge on...in spite of the negative comments [from that YH Fire investigator] who judge you without the facts. The truth will be set free for not just you but many others..." ... he said a quote by Susan Jeffers: "Feel the fear then do it anyway." ... "I know that's why he chose you to witness the last day with the 19."

What that man and others did not know was that my finger was on the "delete" button to close this website. No one knows this but God and me and now you but even my husband who had no clue the above texts were coming in, even he stated his support and to remember that when "frustrated" he is praying for me as flawed as I am but very straight forward I am as well. He said through God all things are possible.

So then - that to me, is God ... This is not an easy path. I think the path is harder for anyone participating along side with me not just my immediate family.

"I know that I have been Blessed in my life to have His shine on me everywhere I go. It is in Him I get my strength. There were times I let Him down. I understand the meaning of His Love. It gives me "freedom" and He will always be in this heart of mine. I remember when He stood by me when times when my life was turning upside down and He always gave me a reason- Thanking Him for always "Believing" and always giving me "Hope". I want you to know God, I understand You- the freedoms You give us; Your Love is Freedom. Your Love is strong and you are the sunshine to my days. I love you. Truth is very freeing..." Source: Unknown Lady in 2001 Chandler, Arizona

I added the above quote from this Unknown Woman because it is very true, and it is how I feel. I know I have followed guidelines even when it has been quite frustrating.

To this date, when I have requested the Peeples Valley Fire Department (PVFD) public records, they have not fully fulfilled my requests, even with an AZ Ombudsman and the AZ Attorney General involved. For reasons unknown, PVFD redirected me to State Forestry and BLM, however, both these agencies rightly stated that PVFD is the proper custodian to their own records, yet PVFD fails to fulfill that area. I have given them more than enough time. Are any of you readers and/or visitors ready to give it a try and get your Public Records? I can tell you this much. Bob Brandon treated me kindly after the YH Fire when he had his grandson assessing Kimberly Leroy's property as I was pulling weeds at the Flippens ( https://photos.app.goo.gl/eKfuvB9PqzL23LyL9 )

So then, my question is why - if there were no records for YHF for Bob Brandon and the Peeples Valley FD Water Tender in the Sesame to Shrine corridor areas - why was there a news article published on it? And why was it posted YouTube video as well? These "Public Records" clearly indicate that the PVFD Water Tender AND Bob Brandon were actively engaged in the YH Fire suppression activities which would have generated Public Records, (i.e. personnel time sheets, vehicle mileage and/or time sheets, Unit Logs, etc.).

Consider the InvestigativeMEDIA post below regarding the videos in Figures 19 and 19a.

Video clips contained in this (new) YouTube composite video …

* +0:00 through +2:26 Aaron Hulburd’s M2U00261 video. It was taken while OPS1 Todd Abel was on his second recon flight around the Yarnell Hill Fire aboard Helicopter ‘Ranger 58’. That recon flight left the ground at exactly 2:00 PM and lasted for 30 minutes, landing at 2:30 PM. The ‘clip’ from Hulburd’s M2U00261 video used in this new YouTube video actually begins at the +25 second mark in the original Hulburd video ( and is missing those first 25 seconds of video/audio in the original ). The rest of Hulburd’s original M2U00261 video is then included in full, with nothing else ‘missing’.

* +2:27 through +2:54

Aaron Hulburd’s M2U00262 video. Shot from the Shrine of St. Joseph parking lot at the end of the paved part of Shrine Road.

* +2:54 through +3:22 Aaron Hulburd’s M2U00263 video. Shows vehicles exiting from the Shrine Road Youth Camp area.

* +3:24 through the end of the video at +4:31

Aaron Hulburd’s M2U00264 video. Shows Paul musser on foot at the Shrine parking lot, Tony Sciacca leaving the area in his white-with-red-stripes PNF pickup with camper back, and then more vehicles emerging from the Shrine Road Youth Camp area.

** NOTE: THE ACTUAL START TIME FOR AARON HULBURD’S M2U00264 VIDEO…

At the very end of Hulburd’s M2U00264 video… we see and hear Blue Ridge Superintendent Brian Frisby and Blue Ridge Captain Trueheart Brown pull up to the St. Joseph Shrine parking lot in their Polaris Ranger UTV.

According to the Blue Ridge GPS tracking data… the exact time of that arrival at that spot was 1637 ( 4:37 PM) … just 2 minutes before Jesse Steed’s first MAYDAY was going to hit the radio.

The M2U0064 video is 3 minutes and 37 seconds long.

So that makes the actual START time for Aaron Hulburd’s M2U0064 video right around 1633.23 ( 4:33.23 PM ) ( 1637 minus 3:37 ).

As for which ‘engines’ those are… that was determined long ago.

Central Yavapai Engine E-59 License Plate on front says “CEY P59” License Plate on rear ( as seen in other photos of same engine ) says “G-682DV”

Sun City West Fire Engine Says “Brush 103” on the side.

My private YouTube vlog was for family and friends during my 125+ pound weight loss journey the past year. I then turned the setting to "public" for awhile even though it is somewhat embarrassing (okay; a lot embarrassing); yet I feel the world needs to know how much I have been anguishing over the aftermath of the Yarnell Hill Fire (YH Fire).

Consider now my inquiry made in regard to a Phone Conversation between a small town municipal fire chief at his office during business hours and whether I can post a recorded conversation on my blog.

Quoting a paid in full Arizona Attorney using Speech Converter MP3 to text Source: Goldwave of a phone conversation 8-29-18 4:44pm: "You have the right to record him... If you are on a telephone you can record him as long as you are part of the conversation... There is no exemptions for anyone anywhere... It is a Federal law and it has been around from a long long time... Some states have narrowed it...Is somebody threatening [the YH Fire eyewitness] with anything?... Court can force the open record laws...The Attorney General is not a private attorney... The Attorney General is a State Office... File something in court for the open records..."

Here is a heads up to the FFs/WFs on Central Yavapai Fire District (CYFD), Sun City West FD, Glendale FD, Peeples Valley FD, Yarnell Fire Dept (FD), Wickenburg and others, of what I witnessed on June 30, 2013. I have remained silent then, however, note that I will release the relevant data out on my web-page ( www.yarnellhillrevelations.com ).

Here are what some of you FFs/WFs that were there on June 30, 2013, in the Sesame Street to Shrine Corridor have stated since that time: "... we had to be briefed right after to keep quiet and all incoming/outgoing is to be discussed with the Investigation PIO only" and "they seized my stuff [photos, videos, logs, etc.] and I never got it back" and "we were not kept in the loop" and "we were treated like outsiders"and "during the actions on the Sesame to Shrine Corridor, the dozer came out of the blue and was radioed and he left" and "the fire activity happened at the wash by the hill with boulders" and "things flared up in the wash between 4-5pm" and "I think it was that task force leaders first job on ICT" and "I have kept it inside and I do not know who to turn to and share" and "I had rookies with me" and "we all carried radios and cells and took pictures" and "I healed by getting involved with the community after the fire" and "freaking huge waste of resources when they did Air Attack retardant drops" and "we split up when it got bad" and "YCSO deputy checked area for unaccounted for civilians" and "I was ordered to leave" and "Widening the wash [Sesame to Shrine Corridor] was done by crews and dozer" and "we cut a half mile of that Shrine to Sesame wash area" and "several people have been ill since the fire."

To the world - when PVFD Fire Chief Bob Brandon talks about "Boulder Mountain" in the article in recent posts, he is not referring to a legal-named spot, but a nickname to a 5180' elevation boulderous hill which is actually [and oddly] Harper Canyon and not the 4640' elevation Peeples Valley area, Genung Mountain.

Hey There, Yavapai County Dozer Operator Paul Morin on the Sesame Street to Shrine Corridor doing your dozer actions on June 30, 2013 - I hope you are ready to talk about what occurred - when you are ready; reach me, please through this website.
