VIDEO/PHOTOS: Tucson Police Department and Tucson Fire Department will be getting a joint complex on the Southside of Tucson. It's funded by voter-approved Tucson Delivers sales tax revenue. This will be the first public safety complex in Tucson that is being built for both departments to utilize. "For one thing, we work together very collaboratively everyday out on the streets of Tucson," explained Fire Chief Chuck Ryan, "this public safety facility makes a lot of sense organizationally." Ryan also explains the new complex is prioritizing health and safety standards. "Our folks will not have to do their daily physical fitness routine in the garage. They'll have a clean space for it and their own dedicated room away from the carcinogens." Cancer is a leading cause of death among firefighters.
