info_outlineAs the temps have risen, quickly I may add, that means that summer and even warmer temps are right around the corner. And there aren’t many people more concerned about the heat than the AZ Forestry Service. We saw a really wet winter, here in AZ. Which sounds great but that just means massive amounts of overgrowth and the potential for a severe fire season. Tiffany Davilla is the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management's Public Affairs Officer. While that’s an important job, she’s also an AZ native and ASU graduate who knows all too well the effects fire has on our state.
