Governor Brewer has ordered that flags at state office buildings be lowered to half-staff on Sunday, July 31, 2011, in honor of Fort Apache Interagency Hotshot crewmember Classay. Mr. Classay died on July 24 while fighting a wildfire on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation near Whiteriver. Mr. Classay was a member of the elite Fort Apache Hotshot wildland firefighting team for 22 years – one of only seven all-Native American, interagency hotshot crews in the nation. Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are encouraged to join in this tribute.
