    Verde Valley Fire DistrictCornville AZ (May 21, 2020) – On Wednesday May 20, at approximately 5:45 PM, the Verde Valley Fire District responded to a Wildland Fire east of Cornville between Cactus Road and Beaverhead Flats.

    VVFD was originally dispatched to a car fire but this was rapidly upgraded to a wildland assignment as nearby vegetation caught fire and the wind began to drive it. On arrival crews deployed to both the eastern and western flanks of the fire in order to control the fire’s spread and Cornville Road was shut down in both directions for several hours.

    Nearby organizations, Cottonwood Fire and Medical Department and Copper Canyon Fire and Medical sent crews in Type 6 Brush Trucks to help with suppression activities. The Forrest Service supplied two Type 3 Engines and crews while Sedona sent a Water Tender to support the efforts. The Verde Valley Ambulance Company supplied a Rehab Unit and an ambulance to medically check out one of the vehicle passengers. No one was injured. YCSO also had a presence and helped control traffic.

    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
