Seth Hamm holds the flag that had been draped over the casket of his brother Caleb Hamm, at DoubleTree Riverside in Boise on Thursday. Federal land managers say Hamm was working on a wildfire west of Fort Worth in the extreme heat a week ago when he collapsed. Hamm was being taken to a nearby hospital when he died. The 105-degree heat that day is believed to be a primary factor in Hamm’s death. Hamm’s hotshot crew is based in Salt Lake City and he resided in the Boise, where his funeral was held.
