🚒 Back-to-Back House Fires Keep United Pima Firefighters Busy
United Pima firefighters worked hard on Sunday, August 9th, responding to two working house fires within just a few hours of each other.
Crews were in the process of rehab and recovering from the first incident when the second fire was dispatched. Without hesitation, firefighters regrouped, geared up, and responded to the next emergency.
We’re proud of the dedication, professionalism, and commitment our firefighters demonstrated throughout both incidents. These calls are a reminder of the demands placed on our crews and the importance of teamwork, training, rehabilitation, and taking care of one another.
🤝 Agencies on scene included:
* Drexel Heights Fire District
* Pascua Pueblo Fire Department
* Santa Rita Fire District
* Tohono O’odham Fire Department
* Rincon Valley Fire District Investigator
* Pima County Sheriff’s Department
We appreciate the hard work and cooperation of all the agencies that responded and worked together to protect our communities.
👏 Thank you to all of the firefighters, investigators, and law enforcement personnel who answered the call and continued to serve despite a demanding day.
