Elliott and Andersen were supporting firefighting operations on the 100,000-acre Widemouth 2 Fire. Both skilled pilots tragically lost their lives while working the fire under an exclusive-use contract with the U.S. Forest Service. Ric Andersen said his brother Chris would have wanted the community to support Miles’ wife and seven-year-old son. Now, Briana and Truxton are facing a future they never imagined having to navigate without him. This GoFundMe has been created to surround Briana and Truxton with the love and support of their family, friends, flying community, firefighting community, and the many people whose lives Miles touched.
