The City of Flagstaff has received $4 million from the state for the construction of a regional wildland fire training facility. This new facility will improve wildfire response and increase firefighter safety.
Governor Katie Hobbs spoke of the importance of this new facility and what it will provide for the people of northern Arizona.
“Keeping Arizonans safe from wildfires is paramount to creating strong and vibrant communities,” Hobbs said. “This investment will make sure northern Arizona has the highly trained personnel and resources they need to effectively respond to wildfires and protect both individuals and property. I will continue to make sure Arizona is equipped to handle the increasing threat of wildfires across the state.”
