    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (April 2, 2014) – On Wednesday, April 2, 2014, at approximately 12:30 pm, the Sedona Fire District responded to a reported injured hiker near the Devil’s Bridge. Upon arrival units determined that an approximately 50 year old female, while hiking with her family, fell about 75 feet. Once on scene, SFD emergency crews determined that the hiker had sustained potentially life threatening injuries.

    Quickly providing initial treatment for the injured patient, emergency crews carried her nearly ¾ of a mile to an awaiting off-road SFD vehicle. The patient was transported to a ground ambulance for transport to Flagstaff Medical Center.

    Typically patients sustaining life threatening injuries in off road environments are transported by air ambulance to local area hospitals. With wind speeds of over of 20 miles per hour and wind gusts in excess of 35 miles per hour, no air ambulance was able to safely respond.

        Very sadly, she died later that afternoon in a Flagstaff hospital.


    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→
