    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.

    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
