Woyjeck was one of the youngest of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots crewmembers killed while battling the Yarnell Hill Fire near Prescott, Arizona in June 2013. He started as a fire explorer with Los Angeles County and then went onto various fire academies and training programs before joining an elite crew of wildland firefighters. Woyjeck was also following in his family’s firefighting footsteps. Woyjeck loved fishing and worked as a deckhand on Long Beach’s fishing charter boats while growing up in Seal Beach. Moviegoers, conversely, will head to the theaters in October to watch “Only the Brave,” a film honoring the Granite Mountain Hotshots who lost their lives fighting a massive Arizona fire. Anglers will board Enterprise and City of Long Beach, two boats in Long Beach, in September to fish in honor of local, fallen firefighter Kevin Woyjeck.
