Less than a week after 19 firefighters were killed fighting a blaze in Arizona, the Southampton Fire Department paid its respects to the fallen at the town's 4th of July parade.

The 19 names were listed on the side of a fire department vehicle that made its way through the sun-splashed crowd in Southampton Village.

Earlier this week, the elite firefighters from Prescott, Ariz. were killed taking on an enormous wildfire north of Phoenix.

Though the blaze is partly contained, it still rages on and 600 firefighters are still trying to put it out, according to NBC News.
