In fact, it is not okay to die in any kind of fire, but I recently received a report of a firefighter fatality from the Cedar Fire in San Diego, California, during the 2003 siege.

The final report is from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF), the agency that was primarily responsible for management of the fire at the time.
