    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (September 17, 2018) – Sedona Firefighters and staff members took to local storefronts to Fill the Boot during the Labor Day weekend as part of the nationwide campaign to help the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Sedona first responders took donations in front of Safeway in West Sedona and Clark’s Market in the Village of Oak Creek and collected over $3,400, raising $1,300 more for Jerry’s kids than was collected last year.

    The MDA and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) have partnered since 1954 to make a difference in the lives of children with muscular dystrophy. Over the past 60 years, firefighters have helped raise over $558M for this amazing cause. “To be able to do our part here in Sedona is such a wonderful thing. I know the fire service has made a huge impact in the lives of so many and I am proud that Sedona Fire is part of the bigger picture” said Firefighter Tyler Woo- Fill the Boot coordinator, “I want to say thank you to everyone in our amazing community who helped make this event a success!”

    Sedona Fire District is involved in many philanthropic activities throughout the year. This is the one we support on a national level every year.

    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.
