As he spent the summer fighting fires, Pike Hotshots firefighter Sol Griffith felt inspiration strike.
“With 2020 being such a historic wildfire year, with over nine and a half million acres burned, there are always injuries,” says Griffith, a Colorado Springs resident. “And unfortunately, we have deaths in fires, and the real question is how do you help or give back?”
The former Army wildland firefighter decided to take old materials used during firefighting to create something that could help raise money for the Eric Marsh Foundation, an Arizona-based nonprofit that helps assist the families of wildland firefighters killed in the line of duty and wildland firefighters with post-traumatic stress disorder.
