A RED FLAG WARNING MEANS THAT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EITHER OCCURRING NOW...OR WILL DURING THE WARNING PERIOD. A COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL CREATE EXPLOSIVE FIRE GROWTH POTENTIAL. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH MEANS THAT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO OCCUR. LOOK FOR LATER FORECASTS AND POSSIBLE UPGRADES TO RED FLAG WARNINGS. RED FLAGS WILL BE LOCATED AT BLUE JAY AND THE FIRE STATION DURING THESE CONDITIONS. PLEASE CURTAIL OUTSIDE BURNING DURING THESE TIMES. Bud Mellor, Fire Chief
MIDNIGHT FIRE HITS WALKER!! June 28th, 2007, Walker Fears The Worst.... Thursday, June 28th, 2007, we all received that dreaded call.... Sitting on the side of the road for up to 5 hours, with other Walkerites, unable to return to our homes, we all feared the worst. We watched as Prescott Fire, Yavapai Central, Groom Creek,
Between ground and air support, in a matter of 10 hard hours, the fire was contained to 10 acres, with no lives lost. Unfortunately, one structure was lost, but no homes. We owe a huge "THANK YOU" to all who worked this fire. "THANK YOU, WALKER'S BEST, These photos give a small perspective of how serious

We have three databases for Walker that we are currently working on to get to a more complete status. 1.
Our medical team is
compiling a list of Walker people who might have a specific medical problem or
need special attention should the need arise. All information is confidential. We do not sell or distribute our database. It is strictly for Fire Department business It is very important that we be able to contact property owners when emergency situations arise, and a complete database makes it possible for us to respond more efficiently when minutes count. 2. To assure that everyone receive up-to-date information
on Walker and to receive the Walker newsletter, Mickey M. is compiling a Walker 3. To assure that I am able to contact our Walker residents, via email, I am continually adding to the Walker Email Database. This is another venue to keep our Walker Community in touch. If you are new to Walker, or if I do not have your email information, please send it to me, Becky S., at: topkat2u@gmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Take the time to
visit our Directory page, and you will find that many of our Walker
residents are listed. This is a way for our neighbors to keep in touch with
each other. If you are new to our area or you are not already listed in our
Walker Directory but would like to be, please send your listing information
to me, Becky S.,
