Firefighter Hall was found unresponsive while supporting a bulldozer crew as it worked to repair an existing fire line on the Grassy Mountain fire. BLM and other firefighters administered CPR until an air ambulance arrived but Hall reportedly died at the scene.
Our condolences to the Hall Family & Friends, the BML - Vale District, and to all affected by Wildland Contractor/Firefighter Kevin Hall's passing.
