Walker Fire Department was on scene, along with Yavapai County Sheriff.
Neighbors passing by saw the accident happen and helped pull the driver from the vehicle, then went to […]

We lost power to our cabin at 4:05am this morning.
Our generator kicked on and we went back to bed, unaware that our Walker Fire Department was out in the cold and snow, at 4:00am, putting out this electrical fire.
APS restored power at about 9:30am.
Walker Fire posted these photos to their FaceBook page.
Looks like we got about 6 inches last night. It was dry and fluffy snow, that seemed to melt quickly.
Here are some photos at our cabin this morning. It was sunny and warmish today. Most of the snow has melted away, except the stuff in shadows.
Here’s a photo of snow at 8:00am […]
On President’s Day, Feb. 19, we got about an inch of snow. It was fun and everyone had a good time.
Then it melted.
On Friday, Feb. 23, we got another inch of snow.
Not a big deal, but then it got cold. Really cold.
The roads got icy and people drove just […]
As everyone probably knows we have had an usually warm and dry winter which
creates visibility for an early start to a very long fire season. There
have already been fires in the southern part of the state. Roughly 90% of
fires are human caused whether that is intentionally or unintentionally

We got an email from the Walker Fire Dept. this morning.
Usually at this time of year we start to hear about expectations for the upcoming fire season from the US Forest Service and for 2018, expectations are for a bad fire season.
The expectation for last year’s fire season was greater […]

As I drove out this morning, about 11:00am, there were 2 vehicles behind me on Walker Road.
As we came up to the hill about a […]
