2 firefighters killed while driving over a bridge that had been
destroyed by a wildfire in April of 2008
The State Highway Patrol had reported that the bridge was destroyed -
but no one put up barriers, nor informed the incoming mutual aid units
IIRC, Colorado State law requires that the Colorado Sheriffs fight the
wildfires on private (non Federal) wildlands - but obviously, some
agencies do not put a lot of effort into the matter
