Former Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo rose to national prominence almost four years ago when 19 of the department's hotshot firefighters perished while battling the Yarnell Hill Fire. He was asked to retire a few months later and decided to run for Prescott mayor in 2015. Fraijo said he was surprised when donations started flowing in to his campaign from firefighter groups across the state. Fourteen political-action committees tied to local firefighter unions — some as far away as Tucson and Casa Grande — donated more than $24,000 to Fraijo's mayoral campaign, a significant number for a race in which only about 14,500 people voted.
