That blaze destroyed 54 buildings -- including homes -- and charred more than 40,000 acres. But the loss of five firefighters has impacted the fire community the most.

"In the hearts of the Forest Service and all the fire service community, Pablo will truly be honored at this Sunday's memorial service for the brave ... all five brave firefighters who lost their lives on the Esperanza Fire," says U.S. Forest Service supervisor Jeane Wade-Evans.

Flags will continue to fly half-staff at all U.S. Forest Service stations until all five firefighters are buried.
