A Message from Joy A. Collura
April 2, 2025 | 3:33 PM
Welcome to Yarnell Hill Fire Revelations.
For over a decade, I’ve poured my heart into sharing my journey—most notably my testimony on the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire—and what InvestigativeMEDIA has meant to me since I first ventured into this space (see Chapter One).
This blog has been a labor of love, a platform to reveal records, and a live journal of my health, life events, and reflections for family and friends.
Through countless posts, I have aimed to illuminate the intricacies and impacts of the Yarnell Hill Fire, a tragedy that deeply affected our community and shaped my personal life.
But as of today, April 2, 2025 3:33pm,
I’m making a strategic shift.
Due to my declining health,
I’ve chosen to remove 90% of my material
from public view.
This isn’t a goodbye—it’s a purposeful step back after years of public service.
The decision comes after much contemplation, weighing the importance of my health against the commitment to presenting the records.
I believe that stepping back will allow me to focus on my well-being while still cherishing the memories and experiences that have defined this journey.
I’ve done my part and then some, and now my focus turns to my family and closest “space friends”
[Elon Musk is not one of those space friends - I just did my part to help the DOGE though]
as I cherish the time ahead.
My family has been my anchor throughout this process, and it is essential for me to devote my remaining energy to those who mean the most to me,
ensuring that I nurture those relationships
and create lasting memories.
To the skeptics, naysayers, and detractors who’ve questioned my work over the years: this decision isn’t a reaction to you—it’s a proactive choice rooted in clarity and peace focused on my health.
My efforts have always been about truth, not noise especially the ones who intentionally
did the noise to distract or harm-
God will handle all of you.
I have always strived to present facts and insights that contribute positively to our understanding of the events and issues surrounding the Yarnell Hill Fire, and this decision is part of maintaining that integrity.
What’s Changing?
Since 2018, I’ve documented my summers in real-time, sharing updates alongside Fred J. Schoeffler’s seasonal recaps. Those posts, spanning 2018 to today, are now viewable by formal request only of mine.
Fred's post remains public. This change reflects my need to curate the information available while still honoring the contributions of others who have been instrumental in this journey.
The Blog’s Future: What remains public here is curated by Fred J. Schoeffler—content he’s requested to keep live.
The rest will step into the shadows possibly this summer (2025) unless certain matters are resolved privately.
Fred’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the information we shared is invaluable, and I trust him to guide this process as I take a step back.
I’ll return in 2032 with a final public update, health permitting.
This anticipated return will allow me to share reflections on my journey, the ever changing of this blog, and the lessons learned along the way, should my health allow.
I look forward to reconnecting with everyone and sharing my insights during that time.
Behind the Scenes: From 2018–2022, we posted actively. From 2023–2025, engagement slowed, but I’ve stayed “ACTIVE”—gathering, organizing, and preparing.
That work continues quietly. Even in this quieter phase, I have remained dedicated to compiling resources, research, and reflections that may serve as a valuable archive for future generations.
How to Stay Connected?
If you’d like access to my archived material, please submit a formal request via our administration email below.
For anything else, Fred is your point of contact—he’s graciously stepping up as I step back. His support during this transition is deeply appreciated, and I encourage everyone to reach out to him for any inquiries or assistance.
Fred J. Schoeffler: dougfir777@yahoo.com
Administration: Lauren.M@yarnellhillfirerevelations.com
Lauren will handle all inquiries and information directed to me, Joy A. Collura. AI is a vital part of this transition, ensuring that communication remains clear and efficient during this time of change.

Final Comment
It’s on all of us to reduce fire incidents—starting at home with prevention, not just relying on the fire industry to clean up our messes. The Yarnell Hill Fire showed us how fast things can spiral, and we can’t keep losing lives while the administration possibly profits off suppression contracts. Let’s pray for less greed at the top and more stability for our brave firefighters on the ground.
Together, we can build a safer future—step by step, faith by faith. 🙏🔥
My formal notice to the FOIA system of my pause until 2032 as well as asking current records pertaining to my name:

Dear All -
Due to my declining health, I am no longer able to remain available to the public. As a result, I will be removing 90% of my material from the blog. I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone the best in their life’s endeavors.
To those who felt I outlived others who should have spoken up—thank you for your support over the years.
If I am still here in 2032, I plan to share a final executive summary. Until then, please stay safe and take care.
I urge everyone to be prepared for any incident or natural disaster.
This year has the potential to be one of the most dangerous fire seasons yet.
If January 2025 taught us anything, it’s that even the wealthiest areas—like those devastated earlier this year—aren’t immune to destruction.
Relying solely on the fire industry to save us isn’t enough.
It is most likely...Poor management, poor leadership, and inadequate pre-planning that possibly play significant roles in these outcomes.
I’d guesstimate 60% of the problem stems from these systemic failures, while the remaining 40% falls on us—our personal preparedness, the spaces we maintain, and the policies we advocate to change.
Be proactive, be ready, and hold those in charge accountable.
As I step back due to my failing health, I am strategically removing 90% of my material from the blog.
This is not a retreat, but a deliberate choice after years of public service.
To the naysayers, haters, and detractors who doubted my efforts—your noise never defined my work, and it won’t now.
For anyone seeking clarity on this move, I’m open to sharing my reasoning through a formal request; the evidence speaks for itself.
I’ve done my part, and I’m at peace with that.
Moving forward, my final moments will be spent with my family and immediate circle of friends —those who matter most.
To everyone else, I wish you well.
Stay prepared, stay vigilant, and take care.
