An emotional procession and celebration of life for a 19-year-old who died in the line of duty last week was held in Revelstoke, B.C., on Saturday.

Friends, family members and colleagues of Devyn Gale flooded in to pay their respects.

Authorities say the 19-year-old was found under a fallen tree while fighting a wildfire near her hometown on July 13.

“Devyn was, and always will be, a part of the B.C. wildfire family,” said Stefan Hood of the B.C. Wildfire Service.

“Her name will be known. It will be spoken. It will be celebrated.”

Gale was the middle child of three kids. Her younger sister Kayln and older brother Nolan both spoke of her impacts on them.

“Dev was not only my sister but my best friend,” said Kayln. “Her heart was open and her mind was always searching for ways to enrich hers and others' lives.”
