With wildfires burning across many Western states, wildland firefighters gathered Sunday to pay tribute to three of their own who died after they were trapped by flames a week ago. Emily Barker, Nick Hutcherson and Sydney Watson, of Alabama, were remembered for being courageous public servants who left a lasting impact on the communities where they worked.

Three firefighters killed over the weekend in a wildfire along the Colorado-Utah border were trying to shield themselves from flames by deploying tent-like shelters when they were overcome, authorities said. One of the victims was from Alabama.

Denis Leary didn’t want to do another golf tournament for a fundraiser. Or an auction. But the actor-comedian, currently starring in the Fox comedy “Going Dutch” and best known as the voice of Diego in the “Ice Age” movies, needed more donations for his Leary Firefighters Foundation. Alabama first responders are among the beneficiaries, and among the first to praise the comedian's efforts.
