BUZZ REVIEW: DON JOSÉ MEXICAN FOOD

🌯 If you ever see me running, I guarantee there’s either a burrito or a bear involved. So, when I heard AZ Central was conducting a ‘March Burrito Bracket’ to crown the best burrito in metro Phoenix—and one of the contenders was 100% gluten-free—I knew exactly what I would be writing about this week. Except… things didn’t go as planned and, as usual, I ended up just where I was meant to be because that lil snafu…

5-SECOND FACTS ⏱️ 

🚒 Last Thursday, as part of the Buckeye Civic Institute, we toured the new Buckeye Fire Station #707 (on Yuma). Holy smokes, I learned a lot! Here’s a few facts—specifically about that station—to whet your whistle:

• They operate 24/7 with a crew of 5—each trained at the basic EMT level, with 2 certified paramedics

• 85% of calls are paramedic-related, 10% involve fire, and 5% other (hazardous materials, inspections, rescues, wildlife response, etc.)

• They aim to be out the door within 60 seconds of initial call

• Average response time is 7 minutes

⭐️ A special thank you to Assistant Fire Chief Rayne Gray for verifying the details shared here and for providing the names of the wonderful firefighters we met that night.
