    Saturday House Fire Temporarily Displaces Family

    logo_sedonafiredistrict2Sedona AZ (February 18, 2019) – A house fire in Sedona on Saturday afternoon, February 16, 2019, has temporarily displaced the family living there. Firefighters arrived to the single family dwelling on Sanborn Drive and found a fire confined to the back bedroom. Crews were able to suppress the fire quickly and with minimal damage to the rest of the structure.

    “The family was not home at the time of the fire,” said Sedona Fire Marshal Jon Davis, “Luckily, the door to the back bedroom had been closed before they left. We teach people that the best thing they can do with a fire is to confine it. Close doors behind you when you leave and keep all doors closed when you are gone.” In this case, the doors inside were closed before the family left and kept the fire damage confined to one small room.

    “While the room where the fire occurred won’t be habitable until after a complete restoration, the family should be able to occupy the rest of the house after some smoke clean-up takes place,” said Davis, “This is the perfect example of why it is so important to keep doors closed when you are sleeping or when leaving the house. Had the interior doors been left open, the entire structure would likely have been a total loss.”

    Fire investigators determined that a damaged electrical cord that had become pinched between the floor and a toy basket was the cause of the fire. Resistive heating can occur when an electrical cord is compressed, which is why it is never a good idea to run electrical cords under carpets or through doors.

    No injuries were reported during the blaze and damage is estimated at $20,000.

    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→
