APACHE JUNCTIONS, AZ — Arizona’s dry climate makes it the perfect breeding ground for wildfires, and while most of us will run away from danger, wildland fire crews are putting their hard hats on and running toward it.
With 9 out of 10 wildfires being caused by humans, Gallivan is making sure response teams stay ready. On April 1 and 2, DFFM held its annual wildland fire training with local, state and federal agencies in Apache Junction. Crews learned how to combat wildfires through in-class learning and field drills, including fire shelter deployment and radio communication.
"We want to make sure our firefighters are safe, they’re trained," Tabak said."Physically, mentally trained and capable and able to fight that fire so their safety comes number one."
