    Verde Valley News – The Coconino National Forest will host a Women in Wildland Fire boot camp in April 2023 for individuals interested in exploring a career in wildfire.

    Boot camp participants will gain a greater understanding of the challenges and responsibilities of wildland firefighting through sessions conducted both in the classroom and in the field.

    Class work will consist of online training modules, where participants will learn about wildland firefighting strategy and safety.

    During field training, participants will follow guidelines set by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group to explore firefighting as a career in a hands-on way.

    Participants will receive the beginning certifications needed to start a career in wildfire, whether it be as a firefighter or a supportive role.

    Applications will be accepted until the cohort is full, and selection for the program will begin on Nov. 28, 2022. Interested parties are encouraged to submit applications up until either April, or the class is full.

    Online work will need to be completed by April 4, 2023, and two consecutive in-person field days will take place on the Coconino NF during April.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
