I am posting this because I know Phoenix fire department will see this. I live at the West Ward Ho…read moreapt complex in downtown Phoenix Arizona. Yesterday I contacted paramedics because I was in much pain. When the first responders came they instead of asking me questions they should have been they started asking me inappropriate questions like do I have any emotional or mental disorder and I told I had bipolar but is well controlled but has nothing to do with what was going on with me at the moment. When I told them I was having difficulty with empty bladder they chuckled and asked are you even trying? I'm a Paraplegic and at times hard for me to go. Here I was in lots of pain but felt like I was being judged because I'm bipolar. Unfortunately many residents in complex I live in but won't use names out of respect for privacy have had similar encounters with the first responders who respond to West Ward Ho apt complex. I want to see something done about this.

I have written a lot of bad reviews, but I just don't know who to thank in this situation. So…read moreplease spread this review around. I was hit by a car, on my bike, in the crosswalk, at a stop sign on May 9, 2021. Bang to the street. So first up; Phoenix EMT's. Thanks. And you even took my busted bike up to the hospital. Phoenix Police. Thanks. No license, no insurance, no registration. She's in trouble. You were more than professional coming to the hospital. But how do I get a new bike ? John C. Lincoln Hospital Emergency Room. Thank you. I'm limping like Festus but I'm going to be Ok. You were concerned, you were professional, I should have listened to the ER Doctor. Thanks all, I'm still here.

Last month I had lots of errands and shopping to do and a strange woman was following me all over…read moretown. I did my laundry, my grocery shopping and other shopping. I was using a large stroller that was packed and I had a large brand new Swiss Tech backpack that was packed with thousands of dollars worth of stuff. Plus I had money, gift cards, my credentials and valuables stuffing my purse. The woman who was following kept asking me personal questions and getting too close to me on the bus. She was creepy. I had one last place to go to and that was Target because I had gift cards for them and I remember getting off the bus and as I was walking into Target and the woman was right behind me so I turned to let her know that if she continued to follow me home I was going to call the police and that's all I remember. I woke two days later on a ventilator in the hospital. I was told that I had overdosed on fentanyl and meth by hospital staff who were treating me terribly. I told them that I don't do drugs and they ignored me. I was being discharged by my request and all of my belongings, thousands of dollars worth were no where whatsoever. The hospital staff said that I didn't come to the hospital with anything. It took me several days of calling the hospital, Target, the police and finally the fire department to find out that either the police or the fire department gave all my belongings to 'my friend'. WHAT FRIEND? I don't have any friends and I don't want any friends. The police said my friend, the woman I was with at Target and I told them that I was not with anyone especially the woman who was following me all day, in fact I was trying to get away from her. The police were and are being total idiots to me and saying that the fire department actually gave the woman my belongings because she said she was my friend and would make sure that I would get them back but I didn't even know her and she has not even contacted me so as far as I am concerned she almost killed me with her drugs and she stole my stuff with the assistance of the fire department and police who basically gave her my belongings which they had no business doing while I was unconscious and no breathing to consent to my belongings being given to a complete stranger who is a criminal. The fire department, the police, Target and the city of phoenix are all blaming everyone including me, the victim and AGAIN I am being robbed AGAIN and AGAIN nobody is helping me. I don't even want to live anymore.

I just got a brand new kitten earlier today and she wedged her self under my cabinet in my kitchen…read more It had been several hours since she went under there and I hadn't heard a peep from her. Was advised by my maintenance at my apartment complex to call the fire department because it was after hours and they didn't have those type of tools. Tried calling the non emergency police department multiple times. Couldn't get through. I was directed to the fire department number from 911. I called around 7:20 pm tonight. The lady who answered the phone immediately had an attitude once I told her that I was worried about a kitten that I just got. Her response? They only "help humans" "fires, car accidents, stuff like that. We don't find your cat." I was fuming and on the verge of tears at this point. She needs to work on her customer service/ compassion skills. Nice to know that when someone's pet, whom they treat like family is irrelevant in possible dangerous circumstances. I understand they don't do pet rescues anymore after my conversation with her tonight and apparently it's just "for tv", but seriously? Have some compassion for people and there fur babies. To some of us they are like family. I didn't want to call the fire department, but It had been hours and I was starting to worry and I live alone. She could of given some helpful tips or information or something. Instead I was met with immediate disgust and annoyance. Her attitude and empathy skills need a LOT of work especially in this line of business. Hopefully she will learn to be more respectful and understanding next time someone runs into a pet problem.

We took the whole extended family up through South Mountain Park, and it turned into one of those…read moredays that sticks with you a little longer than expected. We drove up to Dobbins Lookout, and that's where it really hits. Phoenix spreads out in every direction, a grid of life pressed up against open desert, with mountains rising in the distance like they've been quietly watching the whole thing unfold. It's not subtle. It's big, raw, and a little humbling. What makes this place stand out is how much it offers without trying to package itself too neatly. You can hike, bike, ride horseback, or just stay in the car and take the scenic drive. It works for everyone. We had a mix of people, some ready to tackle trails, others perfectly happy just soaking in the views, and nobody felt out of place. The trail system is extensive. You've got everything from easy, walkable paths to longer, more demanding routes like the National Trail, which stretches over 15 miles and cuts through a huge portion of the park. It's the kind of place where you can come back multiple times and still find something new. We did some light hiking, nothing too aggressive, but even then you feel the terrain. It's not forgiving, and that's part of the appeal. The desert has a way of reminding you to pay attention. Loose rock, uneven footing, the occasional reminder that you're sharing the trail with horses. It keeps you honest. Timing matters out here. Go early. Not just to beat the heat, which you absolutely should, but because the light in the morning does something different. It softens the landscape, pulls out color and texture that gets washed out later in the day. By midday, the sun is in full control and it's a different experience entirely. A few practical notes. Bring more water than you think you need. Then add a little more. Wear actual boots, not something you don't mind slipping around in. And keep an eye on the trail, especially on the multi-use sections. You'll know why pretty quickly. What I appreciated most is how accessible it is. You're minutes from the city, and suddenly you're in this wide, open space that feels removed from everything. No overdevelopment, no forced attractions. Just desert, sky, and distance. It's not polished, and it's not trying to be. That's exactly why it works. Five stars without hesitation.

One of the awesome things about Phoenix is accessibility to nature. Case in point: South Mountain…read morePark. One of the most prominent hiking areas town. I most recently stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for a hike. A couple of highlights to share. If you stop by their Visitor's Center, they have a mini museum where you can learn about the park e.g. the animals and plants that inhabit it; the fact that it's indigenous land, and the history of the park. The VC is air conditioned and they also have bathrooms and various pamphlets/brochures you can take with you. From there, perhaps the most famous hike is Holbert Trail. An hour and a half or so on this moderate trail (if you choose this fork in the road) will take you to Dobbins Lookout. The work you put in will take you to one of the most popular nature stops in town offering stunning scenic views of the city. After hanging out around Dobbins for a bit, an hour or so will take you back to your starting point. Making it a three hour hike or so. Beyond Holbert Trail and Dobbins Lookout, you have other cool things to check out at this Park. And all of it is for free. With easy parking. Enjoy!
