Just in time for wildfire season, some fire districts in Yavapai County are getting grant money through the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management to address critical needs.
The Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority will receive money to purchase a new water tender. The Copper Canyon Fire and Medical District is getting funds for a new Type Six engine.
Additional money is also going to the Walker Fire Protection Association, the Crown King Fire District, and the Peeples Valley Fire District to support critical training and equipment needs.
The total amount of the grant the Department of Forestry and Fire Management distributed to fire districts around the state is five million dollars.
