The real Granite Mountain Hotshots.

So they died of entrapment and tried to deploy their fire resistant bags to get under. I wonder if they managed to do so and why isn't there new tech to somehow mitigate the cooling further somehow. I guess they can't have miniature oxygen tanks with them since it would get 200F/93.3C degrees on the inside and 500F/260C on the outside (or more) which would cause the tanks to explode.

The death reports are interesting since it places heart attack as the number 1 cause of deaths among IHC's.
