VIDEO: Almost $7.5 million. That's how much the State of Arizona says the Feds owe us for last year's busy wildfire season. Local departments are waiting for thousands in reimbursements. Last year's wildfire season was especially rough. When big wildfires strike, departments rush in from all over. L.T. Pratt says Green Valley Fire District sent crews to 36 wildfires. "Not just in Arizona. We were in California, Oregon, Montana, New Mexico." As an example Green Valley Fire has a wildland fire truck that deploys with a crew of four. It might go several states away so as you can imagine, that's not going to be cheap.
