Since August, he has been living in a transitional home in Hawaii Kai. -v.

One firefighter was missing yesterday in one of the nation's deadliest wildfire disasters. Rescuers this morning- found the bodies close together on the side of a ridge about 7,000 feet up the slope of Storm King where rough left them no place to flee. The survivors, including four who were hurt, escaped to burned-over ground where the fire could not take hold. They straggled-out when the danger passed, Gov. Roy Romer told reporters late Wednesday.

survivorr Brad.Haugh, a Bureau of Land Management firefighter, credited his escape to "strong legs and fast feet" "I simply outran the fire up one hill," he told Denver television station KCNC "It crested the hill and headed down 4he. other side. It doesn't travel downhill as fast as it does uphill, so I was able to get out of there." On the way down, Kaugh said, he saw two firefighters who had been burned. He said he helped them get out but "what happened on top I really don't know." Officials said nine of the victims had apparently tried to climb into their fireshelters, shiny blankets used as shields. "It just reminds us all of the great tragedy that can occur when you're dealing with fire," Romer said this morning.
