Governor Doug Ducey Issues A Declaration Of Emergency For Coconino County In Response To The Wildfires

Governor Doug Ducey has issued a declaration of emergency in response to the Pipeline and Haywire fires currently burning in Coconino County. The governor made the declaration after Coconino County made its declaration Tuesday. This will allow communities in the county affected by the wildfires, to receive additional support and resources needed to respond to the fire. Ducey says, “we will continue to work with our partners on the ground to provide all support necessary to mitigate the fire and protect people, pets and property.” He adds, “for a community still recovering from the path of the Tunnel Fire in April, this new blaze is a reminder for all Arizonans to be vigilant and safe this wildfire season.” The Pipeline Fire has burned nearly 25-thousand acres and is 27-percent contained.
