The Arizona City Fire District was formed in June of 1963 by the community of Arizona City and its citizens concerned about having fire protection. The Fire District was formed under a two-member Board of an Elected Fire Chief and an elected Secretary/Treasurer. Arizona City is located 3.5 miles south of the I-10 and I-8 interchange on Sunland Gin Road. Arizona City is an unincorporated community in Pinal County. The District serves a population of 11030 people per the 2017 U.S. Census Bureau.

The District protects 15 square miles of area. The District had been classified as a Volunteer Department, but in July of 2014, we became a 24/7 fire department with 2 people on at all times. In July of 2015, daily minimum staffing was increased to 4 members. January of 2016 we became a full-time department with  4 member crews consisting of a Captain, Engineer, Paramedic and Firefighter. 

The District has a 3 fire rating that was received in 2014 by the Insurance Service Office (ISO). The ISO rating determines the cost of fire insurance premiums that are paid by homeowners in the District. The District receives the majority of funding from the taxes of assessed value of homes and property in the Arizona City Fire District.

Presently there are 15 members of the Arizona City Fire Department.  The Department performs fire protection and Emergency Medical Service (EMS). The department is comprised of Certified Emergency Paramedics (CEP) and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). 

We have had many dedicated people serving the community of Arizona City for over 50 years. A thank you never seems to be enough for these dedicated people who give their time to protect the citizens and property of our Great Community.

The Arizona City Fire District exists to provide excellent service to the community with highly qualified personnel who are dedicated to their duties along with the needs and values of the community.
