CAL FIRE has released a statement on its Facebook page regarding the death of one of their own:
I am very saddened to report that a firefighter fatality has occurred on the Thomas Incident.
The incident is still unfolding, but in this world of fast moving information, it is important to me that only factual information be shared.
To that end, I can confirm a fatality of a CAL FIRE Engineer – Cory Iverson from the San Diego Unit – has occurred. IMT 4, CAL FIRE Local 2881 and Southern Region leadership are working to support the Unit and his family, who have been notified.
More details will be made available as they are confirmed. In the meantime, please join me in keeping our fallen firefighter and his loved ones in your prayers and all the responders on the front lines in your thoughts as they continue to work under extremely challenging conditions.
Chief Ken Pimlott
CAL FIRE Director
