This article draws on ethnographic fieldwork with emergency responders in southern Arizona and northern Sonora that I conducted between 2015 and 2017 and my professional training and volunteer service as a paramedic. In retelling an episode when an aspiring wildland firefighter collapsed and died in a remote desert in the southwestern United States, I examine how rural space is experienced as time.
