Our condolences to Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo and the entire Prescott community in the tragic loss of these firefighters.


With temperatures from 114- 120 degrees and wind here in southern Arizona it looks like fire season is on us in a big way.


Flags are at half-staff in honor of their sacrifice.

Hi,

Today at our firehall's we lowered our flags to half mast and had a moment of silence, to honor and support our firefighter brothers lost, and to support their families.

As firefighters we know the risks , but it doesn't lessen the sense of tragedy and the huge sense of loss when this occurs.

My personal deepest sympathy goes out to the families of these men, and I hope with time their pain will lessen .
