Wildfire season is here - Protect your family and homes

Four wildfires currently raging across Arizona are a reminder that we are in the thick of wildfire season. As temperatures heat up, the desert grasses that grew with spring rains are drying out, creating a fire danger.

Take these precautions:
** If you live in a natural desert environment, create a 30-foot defensible space around your home.
** Remove perennial grasses and thin overgrown bushes.
** Remove dead branches from living trees and dead vegetation from the ground.
**Keep a rolled up garden hose with a nozzle attached to an outside hose valve connection.
