    Cottonwood AZ (June 23, 2017) – Verde Valley Fire District responded to a report of a house fire on the Comanche Drive on Wednesday June 21, at 3:00 pm.  The crew arrived to find a residential involved approximately 75%.

    Because of heavy fire and smoke the initial crew went into a defensive mode and then transition into an offensive mode.  All occupants and pets were reported to be out of the home upon arrival and a primary search confirmed.

    The cause of the fire is unknown and still under investigation.

    The outside temperatures at the time of the fire were over 100 degrees.  This created a challenge keeping our firefighters hydrated and rotating them through the operations to mitigate the incident.  Crews were on scene for approximately 4 hours.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
