The firefighters were working on the Tatham Fire, part of the August Complex of fires southwest of Red Bluff, when the vehicle accident occurred.
May she rest in peace.

I think Marilyn has already summed things up beautifully here and that is simply how we all feel right now about this loss of such a unique fire fighter.
I personally can’t find words right now to express how I feel.
Rest in peace Diane, you’re a such a rare unselfish human being that deserves all the gold stars and stripes of bravery & honor and valor there are for the work you’ve done as a professional fire fighting first responder.
Many Blessings to you and your family.
Peace,
