    Verde Valley Fire District  

    Cottonwood AZ (June 21, 2016) – The Verde Valley Fire District is actively working at the Cedar Wildfire near Show Low.  We have 2 personnel, 1 Engineer and a Firefighter deployed to this large wildfire.  They responded with a 3 thousand gallon Water Tender. They will probably be deployed for an allowable time of 14 days due to the size of the fire which is 26,000 acres. 

    Photos shown are from far away which gives you a good idea of the size and the other photo shows a Type 2 helicopter reloading from a water tank.  This helicopter holds 15,000 gallons of water and is utilized for air water drops.  The water tank the helicopter is drafting from is what our Water Tender supplies with water.  This is one operation of many that is required to fight such a fire.  This is the only wildfire deployment VVFD is currently supporting but the second deployment so far this season.

    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→
