A makeshift memorial at Fire Station 7 in 2013 dedicated to the 19 Arizona firefighters who died in the Yarnell Hill Fire.

The Daily Courier reportedthe Prescott City Council will vote Tuesday whether to sell Fire Station 7, former home of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, to a local plumbing company.

The company made an offer of $362,000 to buy the station, higher than the city’s asking price of $290,000.

Nineteen members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots were killed in the Yarnell Hill Fire in 2013. Families of the 19 firefighters were given two months to come up with a plan to preserve the station but none was submitted.

Daniel Perle was an intern in 2017 and a reporter in 2019 at KJZZ.
