Engine 72 did a great job with the Mock DUI event Sabino High yesterday. Thank you Arizona Youth Partnership, Sabino High School and MADD for allowing us to participate. As this school year winds down, RMFD urges you - don’t drink and drive and please put your phone out of reach while driving. One poor decision will affect the rest of your life.

Engine 73 had a great time today at the Safety First event! RMFD firefighters did an extrication demo, their Probationary Firefighter took 3rd place in the 2-minute drill event, and our Prevention Division installed car seats. Most importantly, we had an opportunity to interact with the community while highlighting the amazing men and women of Rural Metro Fire Department!

Busy night for Rural Metro firefighters! At approximately 10:00 PM last night, Rural Metro Fire responded to a large fire in the area of E. Canada St. and S. Canada Place. Units arrived on scene to find active fire in the yard of this address involving building materials and a cell tower. The fire spread to some smaller structures located in the yard, but crews were able to prevent the fire from spreading into the main structure on the property. Santa Rita Fire District and Drexel Heights Fire District assisted with fire control. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
