    logo_verdevalleyfiredistrictCornville AZ (June 4, 2015) – On Wednesday, June 3 approximately 1200 hours the Verde Valley Fire District (VVFD) responded to a possible wildland fire off of Page Springs Road in Cornville.  First units arrived to find a 1.5 acre urban interface wildfire with high fuels threatening homes.  Fire units from VVFD, Montezuma Rimrock FD, Clarkdale FD, Forest service including air support, and YCSO was added to this assignment. 

    20150604_vvfdThe strategic plan of operations was successful by creating a perimeter around the fire utilizing a water tender shuttle and wildland apparatus and equipment.  The fire was contained quickly by the quick actions of the crews preventing any damage to structures.  Page Spring Road was completely shut down for approximately 2 hours.  The fire was caused by a person cutting pipe creating sparks near dry vegetation.  High wind quickly spread the fire from a spark to 1.5 acres.  No injuries reported.

    A reminder to all; we are in wildland season with elevated risks of wildland fires.  High winds and dry condition elevates the risk of wildland fire.  Use caution and remember:  One Less Spark One Less Wildfire. Safety First.

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.
