A tragic story out of Utah continues to make headlines as the public is showing an outpouring of support for a surviving family member. Five members of the same immediate family—Provo Fire and Rescue’s Captain Spencer Long, his wife Katrina, and their three sons—all died while recreating (hiking and/or canyoneering) near Sunglow Canyon in Utah. A flash flood hit the area on Friday morning while the family was there, and none survived.
