VIDEO: Finding things to do with your kids for the summer isn’t always easy or cheap. One Arizona community took that to heart in central Pinal County.
“If this wasn’t open, I would have probably stayed at home, and in bed,” said a young girl named Nikole Linton soaked head to toe. Every summer Arizona City firefighters transform their headquarters into a children’s paradise. It’s a small unincorporated community south of Phoenix nestled in the desert.
“I mean, there’s really no other activity for them here in the summertime, we don’t have a city pool, we don’t have a city park,” said Fire Chief Jeff Heaton.
What neighbors do have is a group of first responders determined to meet its community's needs.
