Long term Prescott resident and businessman, Dane Beck, announced his intentions to run for an open seat on the board of the Central Yavapai Fire District (CYFD). When asked why he decided to run for the four year term on the board, Dane said: “I’m involved in the community and this opportunity to serve even further is a perfect fit for me. I have a large stake in the area with my companies and feel it’s important to give back, so I’m happy to put my name into the hat.” Dane’s business background and conservative values will help keep the board fiscally sound. He is a graduate of The University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology.
