As the WM Phoenix Open swings into full gear, the safety of over 700,000 attendees throughout the event week is in the hands of diligent officers and firefighters standing by, as reported by ABC15. The Scottsdale Fire and Police departments are treating the 220-acre golf course like a “city within a city,” putting robust plans into place to manage any possible incident, rain or shine. Scottsdale Fire Captain Dave Folio emphasized the need for self-reliance, “We can’t rely on outside resources coming in,” positioning his teams to be ready for the challenges of an incident within an incident.
