Recent heavy rains have forced wildlife from underground dwellings where theyâre more accessible to predators such as snakes and bobcats, so watch wherever you step when outdoors, including your own yard.
Thatâs advice from L.T. Pratt, spokesman for Green Valley Fire District, which responds to injury calls, and Kevin McNichols, new volunteer coordinator for Green Valley Fire Corps, which responds to pest-related calls.
Snake-removal requests are up slightly from normal summer calls, most likely to recent storms.

After nearly a year of pandemic precautions, the Green Valley Fire Corps â the volunteer arm of the Green Valley Fire District â is slowly restarting their services this week, beginning with the popular smoke alarm and battery replacement program.
Faced with limited personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 outbreak, the GVFD decided to temporarily pause GV Fire Corps services last April to protect the community and its volunteers.
But with new safety measures in place, and a backlog of service calls to get through, GVFD Fire Chief Chuck Wunder said many GV Fire Corps volunteers are eager to get back to doing what they love: helping their community.

Green Valley residents breathe a sigh of relief as Pima County gets underway with its first large-scale effort to vaccinate people 75 and older locally.
The county allocated 3,000 shots to Green Valley, which the Green Valley Fire District, Premier Medical Group and local volunteers began dispensing on Wednesday.
GVFD is leading the local effort with Premier s assistance. On Wednesday, Chief Chuck Wunder said the Santa Cruz Valley Regional Hospital site planned to dispense 200 vaccines each day. On Thursday, Operations Manager Sid McKissock with Premier said the Community Performance & Art Center would distribute 700 vaccines each day. The two sites will operate from Wednesday through Friday. Both locations are drive-thru operations.
