    Firefighting pilots in Western Colorado have a new facility. The new Grand Junction Interagency Air Center will be dedicated Tuesday at Walker Field Airport. The 92-hundred-square-foot facility serves as headquarters for heavy air tankers, pilots, smokejumpers, dispatchers and administrators. The air center serves as a base for fighting fires in parts of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, New Mexico and Arizona. It has six full-time employees and 30 seasonal workers. Last year the center responded to about two-thousand incidents.
