  • June can often be the worst month for wildfire in southern Arizona. But a number of different agencies are working together to keep an eye on conditions, ready to spring into action if a fire gets started. Mark Duggan talks with representatives of some of these agencies about the importance of cooperation in keeping wildfires at bay.
