    Verde Valley Fire DistrictCottonwood AZ (December 2, 2020) – At approximately 5:14 p.m. yesterday, December 1, 2020, Verde Valley Fire District was dispatched to a Still Assignment / Vehicle Fire on Highway 260 just east of the day use area. Upon arrival crews found a 2,000 gallon propane truck with the cab fully engulfed in flames. Engine 311 immediately called for a second water tender and made an aggressive and quick attack on the fire.

    The fire was extinguished within 10 minutes, limiting the fire’s exposure to the propane tank and preventing the tank to vent. Due to the potential danger of an exploding tank, Cottonwood Police and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) closed the highway in both directions until the fire was secured and it was safe for traffic to resume. DPS Hazmat units also arrived on scene to assist with the cleanup and securing the vehicle to be towed. Engine 311 remained on scene until the vehicle was safely placed on a tow truck.

    The incident lasted a total of 2 hours. The cause of the fire is unknown. There were no injuries.

    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.
