ELFRIDA, Ariz. — For the past 20 years, Arizona’s Department of Forestry and Fire Management has been helping local firefighters get hands-on wildfire training, so they're better equipped when they return to their station.
"With a smaller district, it’s nicer to have more than a few good really trained up guys because we may not have that many guys,” he said. “That adds an entirely different kind of complexity to the fire," said Assistant Fire Engine Operator for Arizona’s Department of Forestry and Fire Management, Collin Robbins."Now we're looking at our firefighter safety on the fire line, versus trying to put the fire out because we're not used to humidity that high.”
Now he’s encouraging others to participate in the state’s seasonal program that's designed to educate local firefighters on managing and controlling wildfires. “What we want to bring to Elfrida is the knowledge, the skills, you know the tactics, all that stuff, so that we could be a reliable resource,” Batista said.
