Two memorials for the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots killed in the Yarnell Hill Fire have been set up, including a flagpole erected at the "deployment site" -- where the firefighters tried to use their fire shelters to protect themselves from the blaze.
For today only, shuttles will take people to an overlook from which the flag at the deployment site can be seen in the distance.

The other memorial is at State Route 89 and Hays Ranch Road in Peeples Valley -- which where shuttles to the overlook will leave from.
Fire officials say there won't be any more updates on the Yarnell Hill fire "unless conditions change drastically."
The fire has been at 90 percent containment for a few days now.
In addition to the 19 firefighters killed, 114 structures were destroyed in the blaze.
On Tuesday, a memorial service for the 19 firefighters was held.
