Last Summer's deaths of three US Forest Service firefighters will be memorialized in a ceremony Friday.

The event honors 26-year-old Andrew Zajac, 31-year-old Rick Wheeler of Wenatchee and 20-year-old Tom Zbyszewski of Carlton who were killed while fighting the Twisp River Fire.

A 4th firefighter, Daniel Lyon escaped with serious burns and is recovering.
