The #phxfirecrisis impacts everyone who relies on emergency services in the Phoenix area. In the below article, you can hear directly from our President as to why you should be concerned but most importantly, what can be done about it. https://t.co/iE0QgGinAu

The Phoenix Fire Department has not grown with the city, and a planned bond in 2023 doesn't do enough to fix this growing crisis. We need more help.

We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our oldest living member, Captain Benny Ashley who returned to quarters peacefully this morning at the age of 105. Benny was a living legend amongst us and will be greatly missed.

The perfect video to highlight first responders day. Response times and crucial, life saving services such as this depend on public safety having adequate resources and staffing. #phxfirecrisis

These large-scale, joint responses of PD/Fire are exactly why public safety needs to be prioritized in the upcoming Phoenix General Obligation Bond process. Our hearts grieve for the victims and we wish the heroic officers a speedy recovery. https://t.co/jymjQqPmnb

Phoenix Fire needs new stations, trucks, ambulances and personell to keep pace with the relentless growth of our city. The upcoming 2023 Bond process is the best way fund the infrastructure we need to keep Phoenix safe. #phxfirecrisis
Phoenix firefighters say their equipment is old and inadequate to keep up with the Valley's massive growth.

The PFD “way” personified!
Huge S/O to Trevor Tyree of the @phoenixfiredepartment! 👊🏼 He heard Liam, the teenager featured in our Finding Forever story this week, was learning guitar. Trevor wanted to do something nice so he dropped off this great guitar he wasn’t using for Liam. 👏🏼 🙏🏼
